We're going broad with breadth-first search! Well, actually, we're getting in line, or enqueuing ;) We walk through the steps of how breadth-first search (BFS) works, complete with holiday themed analogies and reindeers that need a GPS. We also compare and contrast the steps of BFS to those in DFS (depth-first search). Based on Vaidehi Joshi's blog post, "Breaking Down Breadth-First Search".
