breadth first search algorithm big O code example
Example 1: breadth first search
procedure BFS(G, start_v) is
2 let Q be a queue
3 label start_v as discovered
4 Q.enqueue(start_v)
5 while Q is not empty do
6 v := Q.dequeue()
7 if v is the goal then
8 return v
9 for all edges from v to w in G.adjacentEdges(v) do
10 if w is not labeled as discovered then
11 label w as discovered
12 w.parent := v
13 Q.enqueue(w)
Example 2: bfs algorithm
function breadthFirstSearch (Start, Goal)
{
enqueue(Queue,Start)
setVisited(start)
while notEmpty(Queue)
{
Node := dequeue(Queue)
if Node = Goal
{
return Node
}
for each Child in Expand(Node)
{
if notVisited(Child)
{
setVisited(Child)
enqueue(Queue, Child)
}
}
}
}
