7. Breadth-First Search (BFS)
An algorithm for traversing or searching tree or graph data structures, exploring all neighbors at the present depth prior to moving on to nodes at the next depth level.
Python
Breadth-First Search (BFS)
BFS is an algorithm that explores all neighbors of a node before moving on to the next level of nodes.
"I need to find the shortest path in a maze, but I want to explore all options at each step."
BFS is a graph traversal method that explores nodes layer by layer, ensuring that all nodes at the current depth are processed before moving deeper.
