Imagine you are tasked with finding the minimum number of moves required for a chess piece to reach a certain square on a chessboard. Would BFS or DFS be more suitable for solving this problem? Explain.
- Both BFS and DFS
- Breadth-First Search (BFS)
- Depth-First Search (DFS)
- Neither BFS nor DFS
BFS is the appropriate choice for this problem. Chessboard scenarios often involve finding the shortest path, and BFS explores all possible moves level by level. This guarantees the minimum number of moves to reach the destination square, making it well-suited for this task. DFS may find a solution but does not guarantee the minimum moves.
