Workload: about 12 to 15 hours a week, more during the tree unit. What went well: the course builds steadily. Once linked lists and recursion made sense, trees felt like a natural next step, and graphs built on both. What was hard: the coding assignments have a lot of edge cases, and it's easy to underestimate them. I…

Discussion

BFS vs DFS: when does it actually matter which one you use?

SRSofia Ramirez21 Lumens·Georgia Tech(verified university email)·Summer 2026·4 weeks ago

I can implement both, but I get stuck deciding which one a problem wants. My current rule of thumb: - BFS when I care about the fewest edges (shortest path in an unweighted graph), or want to explore "layer by layer." - DFS when I need to fully explore one bra…
