Interactive Quizzes

Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.

Question 1

What does Depth-First Search do?

  • Explores all vertices at once
  • Explores as far as possible before backtracking
  • Is not used for graph traversal

💡 Hint: Think about how it approaches exploration compared to BFS.

Question 2

Does DFS always find the shortest path in a graph?

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Recall how DFS navigates the graph compared to BFS.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Using DFS, find all connected components in a given undirected graph and demonstrate how to apply the algorithm.

💡 Hint: Visualize the graph and ensure you revisit all possible starts.

Question 2

Graph G is constructed with vertices 1-10. Execute DFS and note all pre and post numbers, then identify any cut vertices.

💡 Hint: Focus on the connections and transitions between vertices during the DFS process.
