Description

In this video, I explain the fundamental ideas behind the Depth First Search (DFS) graph algorithm. We first introduce the concept of a graph traversal. We then go through several examples of DFS to provide intuition. Afterwards, we then go through both a recursive and iterative implementation with provided code. We discuss the differences between the implementation and also make a distinction between a preorder and post order DFS traversal. We then finish the video off with some practical and fun applications of depth first search in graph theory. 0:00 Intro and Preview 0:50 Graph Traversal 1:20 DFS Walkthrough and Examples 6:26 Recursive Implementation 11:08 Iterative Implementation 15:06 Preorder vs Postorder DFS 17:01 DFS Applications Support: https://www.patreon.com/reducible This video wouldn't be possible without the open source manim library created by 3blue1brown: https://github.com/3b1b/manim Here is link to the repository that contains the code used to generate the animations in this video: https://github.com/nipunramk/Reducible
