Question 1

What does BFS stand for?

  • Binary First Search
  • Breadth First Search
  • Normal First Search

💡 Hint: Focus on the term 'breadth' when thinking about exploration.

Question 2

True or False: BFS can be used to find the shortest path in an unweighted graph.

  • True

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a graph represented as an adjacency list, outline how you would implement BFS in Python, including edge cases.

💡 Hint: Think about how to handle special cases like isolated vertices.

Question 2

Explain how you would modify the BFS algorithm to find the longest path in an unweighted graph.

💡 Hint: Consider the inverse nature of finding longest as opposed to shortest.
