This calculator is designed for computer science students and professionals to explore graph theory concepts by calculating and visualizing Depth-First Search paths. It helps in understanding how DFS traverses graphs.
All calculations are based on standard graph theory algorithms as detailed in Visualgo.net's DFS and BFS explanations. All calculations strictly follow the formulas and data provided by this source.
DFS: Traverse as deep as possible before backtracking.
For a graph with 5 nodes and 4 edges, entering these into the calculator will compute and display a DFS path, demonstrating how the algorithm traverses the graph depth-wise.
DFS is an algorithm for traversing or searching tree or graph data structures. It starts at the root and explores as far as possible along each branch before backtracking.
Enter the number of nodes and edges, and the calculator will visualize the DFS path based on your inputs.
Yes, DFS can be applied to all types of graph structures including directed, undirected, weighted, and unweighted graphs.
DFS may not always find the shortest path in an unweighted graph and can be more memory-intensive compared to other algorithms like BFS.
DFS and backtracking are related but not the same. DFS is a traversal algorithm, while backtracking is a technique for solving constraint satisfaction problems.
