Graph Traversal

Graph traversal is the process of systematically exploring all the nodes (points) and connections (lines) in a graph. Imagine navigating a network of roads connecting cities: traversal methods determine the order in which you visit each city. Common methods include breadth-first search, which explores all nearby nodes before moving outward, and depth-first search, which dives deep into one path before backtracking to explore others. These techniques help in tasks like finding the shortest route, detecting connected components, or analyzing relationships within complex data structures efficiently.
