BFS and DFS Algorithms

Feature	BFS	DFS
Full Form	Breadth First Search	Depth First Search
Starting Point	Starts from the root node and expands all nodes at the current level before moving to the next level.	Starts from the root node and follows each path to its greatest depth node before moving to the next path.
Data Structure Used	Queue	Stack
Speed	Comparatively slower than DFS	Comparatively faster than BFS
Memory Usage	Requires more memory compared to DFS	Requires less memory compared to BFS
Concept	FIFO (First In First Out)	LIFO (Last In First Out)
Traversal Order	According to tree level	According to tree depth
Backtracking	No need for backtracking	Backtracking is required
Infinite Loop Trap	Cannot be trapped in infinite loops	Can be trapped in infinite loops
Shallowest Path Solution	Provides the shallowest path solution	Does not guarantee the shallowest path solution
Best for Target Location	Closer to the source	Farther from the source
Node Visitation Order	Siblings are visited before children	Children are visited before siblings
