Graph – Breath First Search

Below is a simple implementation of a graph and breath first search. The key is using a queue to store nodes.

breath first search

1) Define a GraphNode

class GraphNode{ 
	int val;
	GraphNode next;
	GraphNode[] neighbors;
	boolean visited;
 
	GraphNode(int x) {
		val = x;
	}
 
	GraphNode(int x, GraphNode[] n){
		val = x;
		neighbors = n;
	}
 
	public String toString(){
		return "value: "+ this.val; 
	}
}

2) Define a Queue

class Queue{
	GraphNode first, last;
 
	public void enqueue(GraphNode n){
		if(first == null){
			first = n;
			last = first;
		}else{
			last.next = n;
			last = n;
		}
	}
 
	public GraphNode dequeue(){
		if(first == null){
			return null;
		}else{
			GraphNode temp = new GraphNode(first.val, first.neighbors);
			first = first.next;
			return temp;
		}	
	}
}


3) Breath First Search uses a Queue

public class GraphTest {
 
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		GraphNode n1 = new GraphNode(1); 
		GraphNode n2 = new GraphNode(2); 
		GraphNode n3 = new GraphNode(3); 
		GraphNode n4 = new GraphNode(4); 
		GraphNode n5 = new GraphNode(5); 
 
		n1.neighbors = new GraphNode[]{n2,n3,n5};
		n2.neighbors = new GraphNode[]{n1,n4};
		n3.neighbors = new GraphNode[]{n1,n4,n5};
		n4.neighbors = new GraphNode[]{n2,n3,n5};
		n5.neighbors = new GraphNode[]{n1,n3,n4};
 
		breathFirstSearch(n1, 5);
	}
 
	public static void breathFirstSearch(GraphNode root, int x){
		if(root.val == x)
			System.out.println("find in root");
 
		Queue queue = new Queue();
		root.visited = true;
		queue.enqueue(root);
 
		while(queue.first != null){
			GraphNode c = (GraphNode) queue.dequeue();
			for(GraphNode n: c.neighbors){
 
				if(!n.visited){
					System.out.print(n + " ");
					n.visited = true;
					if(n.val == x)
						System.out.println("Find "+n);
					queue.enqueue(n);
				}
			}
		}
	}
}

Output:

value: 2 value: 3 value: 5 Find value: 5
value: 4
