Key Points

  1. 694 How to present the shape of islands with BFS and DFS?

Complexity Analyze

  1. 200.

Time Complexity

  1. O(N+4N) = O(N) N = m*n
  2. Loop all the node outside, m*n
  3. Overall O(N)

Space Complexity

  1. For DFS, Recursive stack depth: worst at O(N)
  2. For BFS, Queue length: worst at O(N)
  3. Worst case example, m=1, n = N, and all equals 1
  4. Use grid as visited, no extra spaces

BFS

Thinking Patterns

  1. BFS算法的本质就是二叉树的层序遍历。

  2. 衍生到多叉树的层序遍历，和图的遍历（增加visited数组）

  3. BFS 算法经常用来求解最短路径问题。最短路径，都可以类比成二叉树最小深度问题（寻找距离根节点最近的叶子节点），递归遍历必须要遍历整棵树的所有节点才能找到目标节点，而层序遍历不需要遍历所有节点就能搞定，所以层序遍历适合解决最短路径问题。
