depth first search example

Example 1: dfs python

###############
#The Algorithm (In English):

# 1) Pick any node. 
# 2) If it is unvisited, mark it as visited and recur on all its 
#    adjacent nodes. 
# 3) Repeat until all the nodes are visited, or the node to be 
#    searched is found.


# The graph below (declared as a Python dictionary)
# is from the linked website and is used for the sake of
# testing the algorithm. Obviously, you will have your own
# graph to iterate through.
graph = {
    'A' : ['B','C'],
    'B' : ['D', 'E'],
    'C' : ['F'],
    'D' : [],
    'E' : ['F'],
    'F' : []
}

visited = set() # Set to keep track of visited nodes.

# The Algorithm (In Code)

def dfs(visited, graph, node):
    if node not in visited:
        print (node)
        visited.add(node)
        for neighbour in graph[node]:
            dfs(visited, graph, neighbour)
            
# Driver Code to test in python yourself.
# Note that when calling this, you need to
# call the starting node. In this case it is 'A'.
dfs(visited, graph, 'A')

# NOTE: There are a few ways to do DFS, depending on what your
# variables are and/or what you want returned. This specific
# example is the most fleshed-out, yet still understandable,
# explanation I could find.

Example 2: depth first search

// performs a depth first search (DFS)
// nodes are number from 1 to n, inclusive
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;


vector<vector<int>> adj;  // adjacency list
// visited[v] = true if v has been visited by dfs
vector<bool> visited;

bool all_edges_are_directed = true;

void dfs(int v) {
    // determines if dfs has been done on v
    if(visited[v])
        return;
    visited[v] = true;

    // write code here to do stuff with node v

    // traverse nodes that are adjacent to v
    for (int u: adj[v]){
        dfs(u);
    }
}

int main() {
    int n;  // number of vertices
    int m;  // number of edges
    cin >> n >> m;
    adj = vector<vector<int>>(n+1, vector<int>());
    visited = vector<bool>(n+1, false);

    for(int i = 0; i < m; ++i) {
        // nodes a and b have an edge between them
        int a, b;
        cin >> a >> b;

        if(all_edges_are_directed)
            adj[a].push_back(b);
        else {
            adj[a].push_back(b);
            adj[b].push_back(a);
        }
    }
    
    // do depth first search on all nodes
    for(int i = 1; i <= n; ++i){
        dfs(i);
    }
}

Example 4: depth first search stack

      let S be stack
      S.push( s )            //Inserting s in stack 
      mark s as visited.
      while ( S is not empty):
          //Pop a vertex from stack to visit next
          v  =  S.top( )
         S.pop( )
         //Push all the neighbours of v in stack that are not visited   
        for all neighbours w of v in Graph G:
            if w is not visited :
                     S.push( w )         
                    mark w as visited


    DFS-recursive(G, s):
        mark s as visited

            if w is not visited:
