Question 1.
Define BFS.
Show hintHide hint
Think about what BFS does in terms of exploring nodes.
Question 2.
What is a connected component?
Show hintHide hint
Consider how nodes are reachable from one another.
3Question 3.
Which of the following algorithms is used to detect cycles in undirected graphs?

Show hintHide hint
Consider how each edge connects the vertices.
Question 5.
Given a directed graph, implement BFS to detect cycles. Describe your method and identify any cycles found.
Show hintHide hint
Focus on marking and tracking edges used during traversal.
Question 6.
Create a visual representation of a graph with at least two distinct cycles using BFS. Describe how you identified each cycle.
Show hintHide hint
Use different colors to trace edges of various types in your visual representation.
