/** * Breadth-first search is an algorithm for traversing a graph. * * It discovers all nodes reachable from the starting position by exploring all of the neighbor nodes at the present * depth prior to moving on to the nodes at the next depth level. * * (description adapted from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breadth-first_search) * @see https://www.koderdojo.com/blog/breadth-first-search-and-shortest-path-in-csharp-and-net-core */ export function breadthFirstSearch (graph, startingNode) { // visited keeps track of all nodes visited const visited = new Set() // queue contains the nodes to be explored in the future const queue = [startingNode] while (queue.length > 0) { // start with the queue's first node const node = queue.shift() if (!visited.has(node)) { // mark the node as visited visited.add(node) const neighbors = graph[node] // put all its neighbors into the queue for (let i = 0; i < neighbors.length; i++) { queue.push(neighbors[i]) } } } return visited }
