  • Ans. 

    Breadth-first search (BFS) is a traversal algorithm used to visit all nodes of a binary tree level by level.

    • Start at the root node and visit all nodes at the current level before moving to the next level.

    • Use a queue data structure to keep track of nodes to visit next.

    • Example: BFS traversal of a binary tree - 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4 -> 5
