Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

In a graph with 8 vertices and 7 edges, illustrate the BFS traversal starting from vertex 1. What will the queue look like after visiting each vertex?

💡 Hint: Remember to keep track of visited vertices.

Challenge 2 Hard

Given an unweighted graph, how does BFS compare to Dijkstra’s algorithm in terms of finding paths?

💡 Hint: Think of scenarios where weights alter the shortest path.
