S3:E8 - "BFS is your BFF"

Let's break down how breadth-first search (BFS) actually works! We'll walk through a real example, explain the Big O notation of this algorithm, and explore how you might decide whether to use breadth-first search or depth-first search. Based on Vaidehi Joshi's blog post, "Breaking Down Breadth-First Search".
