Can BFS be applied to graphs with cycles? If so, how does it handle them?

  • BFS automatically detects cycles and removes them during the traversal.
  • BFS can handle graphs with cycles by marking visited nodes and skipping them in subsequent iterations.
  • BFS cannot be applied to graphs with cycles as it will result in an infinite loop.
  • BFS skips cycles during the initial exploration and revisits them later in the process.
BFS can be applied to graphs with cycles by marking visited nodes. During traversal, when a visited node is encountered, it is skipped to avoid infinite loops. This approach ensures BFS can handle cyclic graphs.
