This experience deserves a bigger screen

The DSA Visualizer is designed for deep focus,
side-by-side code, and real-time execution insight.

On small screens, that level of clarity can't be preserved.

Depth First Search (DFS)Step-by-Step Visualization

DFS explores as far as possible along each branch before backtracking. It is useful for topological sorting, cycle detection, and maze solving.

Problem Statement

Implement DFS traversal for a graph given an adjacency list and a starting node.

Approach

Recursive or Stack-based. Mark current node visited. For each unvisited neighbor, recursively call DFS. Backtrack when no unvisited neighbors remain.

Time & Space Complexity

Time complexity is O(V + E). Space complexity is O(V) for recursion stack.
