Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given an undirected graph represented as an adjacency list, implement BFS to find all reachable nodes from a starting node and return them in a list.

💡 Hint: Utilize a queue for managing nodes to visit next.

Challenge 2 Hard

Describe how to modify BFS to also track the distance from the source vertex to each node.

💡 Hint: Think about how BFS layers relate to the coefficient of distance.
