Graph traversal

Graph traversal is a way of finding a path through a network or graph. Think of it like you're moving around a map, where each spot is connected by roads. Graph traversal is like choosing a path on that map, deciding which roads to take so you can get to a destination. So how do you decide which roads to take? That's where the graph traversal comes in. You start at the beginning, and each time you have choices, you look at each option and decide which is the best one to follow. You keep doing this until you reach your destination.
