"""Depth-First Search""" | |
# Depth-First searches are a (bad) way to find if two nodes in a graph are connected. | |
# Graphs are represented as follows: | |
# { | |
# "A": ["B", "C"] | |
# "B": ["A", "C"] | |
# "C": ["A", "B"] | |
# } | |
# Becomes: | |
# (A) -- | |
# | \ | |
# | (B) | |
# (C) -/ | |
# Basically, the nodes are stored in a dictionary, with each node equalling a list of the connected nodes. | |
# The example graph look like so: | |
# +---+A+ | |
# + +---+ | |
# B+--+ C | |
# + | + | |
# + | + | |
# D +----+E | |
# + +---+ | |
# +---+F+ | |
