Common mistakes

  • Not validating standard-function return values.
  • Ignoring edge cases for indices, pointers, or buffers.
  • Skipping example-based test runs before publishing.

Practical use

BFS is used for shortest paths in unweighted graphs, level-order traversal, and AI search algorithms.
