Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given an unweighted graph, estimate the length of the shortest path from vertex A to vertex E. How would BFS help in constructing this path?

💡 Hint: Think about the significance of levels in BFS traversal.

Challenge 2 Hard

Modifying BFS to handle weighted edges, propose an algorithm that still utilizes BFS principles but incorporates costs. What considerations must you account for?

💡 Hint: Consider how BFS processes nodes and how weights might affect this processing order.
