Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which traversal method would you use to check if a graph is bipartite?
  • Step 1: Start with a graph that you want to check if it is bipartite.
  • Step 2: Choose a starting node and color it with the first color (let's say color 1).
  • Step 3: Use Breadth-First Search (BFS) to explore all the neighboring nodes of the starting node.
  • Step 4: Color all neighboring nodes with the second color (color 2).
  • Step 5: Continue this process: for each node you color, color its unvisited neighbors with the opposite color.
  • Step 6: If you ever find a neighboring node that has the same color as the current node, the graph is not bipartite.
  • Step 7: If you can color the entire graph without conflicts, then the graph is bipartite.
