Breadth First Search: Fundamentals and Applications

An technique known as breadth-first search, or BFS, is used to search the nodes in a tree data structure for one that satisfies a particular set of criteria. It begins at the base of the tree and proceeds to investigate each of the nodes at the current depth level before moving on to the nodes located at the next depth level. To maintain track of the child nodes that have been encountered but have not yet been investigated, additional memory, typically in the form of a queue, is required.
