Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a graph with weights, can you apply the BFS algorithm to find the shortest path? What modifications would you have to make?

💡 Hint: Consider what BFS generally assumes about edge distances.

Question 2

If we add another component to the graph that is disconnected from the initial source, how would BFS react? What would be the result?

💡 Hint: Think about how BFS operates on connected vertices.
