Graph Traversal Complexity

The video tutorial covers the complexities of Breadth-First Search (BFS) and Depth-First Search (DFS) in graph traversal. It explains that DFS involves going deep into the graph, while BFS involves going wide. The time complexity for both BFS and DFS is O(V+E), where V is the number of vertices and E is the number of edges. The space complexity is also discussed, highlighting that in the worst-case scenario, it remains the same for both queue-based and recursive approaches. The tutorial concludes by emphasizing the importance of understanding these complexities for effective graph traversal.
