DFS vs. BFS: What Is the Difference?

As a computer science student, I know how important it is to understand tree traversal algorithms. I suggest every beginner should clarify the basic differences between these two algorithms.

Breadth-first search (BFS) and depth-first search (DFS) are the most popular tree traversal algorithms. Both techniques include visiting all the edges and vertices of a graph but the most important difference between them is that they perform different data structures. BFS applies queue data structure and DFS applies the stack data structure. Depending on this difference, we can determine between the two methods which one is appropriate for a particular purpose.
