BFS vs DFS visualized: same maze, path of 8 vs 14 steps
cneuralnetwork · x · 2026-11-01
A visualization compares BFS and DFS on the same maze: BFS explores level by level, finds the shortest path (length 8, 15 cells explored) but needs a queue and more memory; DFS goes deep then backtracks (length 14, 23 cells), uses a stack with lower memory, and doesn't guarantee the shortest path. A clear illustration of the trade-offs.
