# Breadth-First Search (BFS) Breadth-first search (BFS) is an algorithm for traversing or searching tree or graph data structures. It starts at the tree root (or some arbitrary node of a graph, sometimes referred to as a 'search key') and explores the neighbor nodes first, before moving to the next level neighbors. ![Algorithm Visualization](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5d/Breadth-First-Search-Algorithm.gif) ## References [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breadth-first_search)
