breadthFirstSearch


Your task is to write a function, breadthFirstSearch, that performs a breadth first search on a graph starting at the given vertex. It should print out the vertices as they are visited. If a vertex has multiple neighbours, visit the neighbour with the smallest vertex number first.

The Files

Graph.c Contains the implementation of a graph ADT
Graph.h Contains the interface of the graph ADT
Queue.c Contains the implementation of a queue ADT
Queue.h Contains the interface of the queue ADT
testBreadthFirstSearch.c Contains the main function, which reads in a graph and a starting vertex from standard input, and then calls breadthFirstSearch.
breadthFirstSearch.c Contains breadthFirstSearch, the function you must implement
Makefile A makefile to compile your code
tests/ A directory containing the inputs and expected outputs for some basic tests
autotest A script that uses the tests in the tests directory to autotest your solution. You should only run this after you have tested your solution manually.

Examples

Your program should behave like these examples:


$ ./testBreadthFirstSearch 
Enter number of vertices: 9
Enter number of edges: 9
Enter edges in the form v-w: 0-1 0-7 1-2 1-5 3-4 3-5 3-6 3-7 5-8

Graph: nV = 9
Edges:
 0: 0-1 0-7
 1: 1-0 1-2 1-5
 2: 2-1
 3: 3-4 3-5 3-6 3-7
 4: 4-3
 5: 5-1 5-3 5-8
 6: 6-3
 7: 7-0 7-3
 8: 8-5

Enter src: 0
Breadth first search starting at vertex 0: 0 1 7 2 5 3 8 4 6 
		

$ ./testBreadthFirstSearch 
Enter number of vertices: 8
Enter number of edges: 8
Enter edges in the form v-w: 0-1 1-2 2-3 3-4 4-5 5-6 6-7 7-0

Graph: nV = 8
Edges:
 0: 0-1 0-7
 1: 1-0 1-2
 2: 2-1 2-3
 3: 3-2 3-4
 4: 4-3 4-5
 5: 5-4 5-6
 6: 6-5 6-7
 7: 7-0 7-6

Enter src: 3
Breadth first search starting at vertex 3: 3 2 4 1 5 0 6 7 
		

$ ./testBreadthFirstSearch 
Enter number of vertices: 10
Enter number of edges: 9
Enter edges in the form v-w: 0-1 1-2 1-3 2-4 2-5 3-5 3-6 7-8 8-9

Graph: nV = 10
Edges:
 0: 0-1
 1: 1-0 1-2 1-3
 2: 2-1 2-4 2-5
 3: 3-1 3-5 3-6
 4: 4-2
 5: 5-2 5-3
 6: 6-3
 7: 7-8
 8: 8-7 8-9
 9: 9-8

Enter src: 6
Breadth first search starting at vertex 6: 6 3 1 5 0 2 4 
		

Testing

You can test your program manually by compiling your code using make, and then running ./testBreadthFirstSearch, as shown above. After you are satisfied with your solution, you can autotest it by running ./autotest. This will run some basic tests on your program.
