Frequently asked unweighted graph algorithms

Graphs are important in computer science and are used in many areas like maps, social networks, and scheduling tasks. A graph consists of nodes (vertices) and edges (connections). In solving problems with graphs, basic algorithms like Breadth-First Search (BFS) and Depth-First Search (DFS) help find paths and explore graphs. More advanced methods, such as Kosaraju’s and Tarjan’s algorithms, identify strongly connected node groups in directed graphs. Graph coloring is useful for problems that need different labels for connected nodes. Hamiltonian path and cycle problems explore whether it’s possible to visit all nodes in a single path or cycle. Understanding these algorithms is key to solving interview challenges and real-world problems effectively.
