Applications of BFS Traversal
The following are the applications of the Breadth First Traversal algorithm in C++:
- It is used to find the shortest path among many paths in an unweighted graph.
- It can find a minimum spanning tree for weighted graphs (if the weight is non-negative and same for each of the vertices).
- It is used in peer-to-peer networks like BitTorrent to find all neighbor nodes.
- It can be used to detect cycles in undirected graphs, and can also detect cycles in directed graphs.
- It is used in broadcasting networks to reach all nodes.
C++ Program for BFS Traversal
In C++, breadth First Search (BFS) is a method used to navigate through tree or graph data structures. It begins at the starting point or any chosen node, within the structure. Examines the neighboring nodes at the current level before progressing to nodes, at deeper levels.. In this article, we will learn the BFS traversal in C++, the implementation of the BFS traversal algorithm, and applications of the BFS algorithm.
