Search algorithms implemented in different languages

Search Algorithms

This is a series of exercises to help me improve my understanding of programming languages, styles, and algorithms. It may also be useful to others for learning or for reference.

Algorithms

Each algorithm has a very simple test case that matches the basic diagrams shown below. To run a test, see the head of the test file for instructions on how to execute it.

If you'd like some help setting up a basic environment to run the test in, you can download a Vagrant VM from my Vagrantfiles repository.

cd erlang
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/adlawson/vagrantfiles/master/erlang/Vagrantfile
vagrant up && vagrant ssh
cd /srv
erlc bfs.erl
escript bfs_test.erl

### [Depth First Search][dfs] Implementation as described by [Prof. Erik Demaine][demaine] in a [recorded lecture][dfs-video] at MIT. The graph constructed in the test is represented in the diagram shown on the right.

### [Breadth First Search][bfs] Implementation as described by [Prof. Erik Demaine][demaine] in a [recorded lecture][bfs-video] at MIT. The graph constructed in the test is represented in the diagram shown on the right.
