##*Description*

Depth-First Search (DFS) is a graph traversal algorithm that explores nodes in a depthward motion. It starts at a selected node (root) and explores as far as possible along each branch before backtracking.

##*Java implementation*

```
public class DFS {
public static void search(int[][] graph, int start) {
boolean[] visited = new boolean[graph.length];
dfs(graph, start, visited);
}
private static void dfs(int[][] graph, int node, boolean[] visited) {
visited[node] = true;
System.out.print(node + " ");
for (int neighbor : graph[node]) {
if (!visited[neighbor]) {
dfs(graph, neighbor, visited);
}
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
int[][] graph = {{1, 2}, {0, 3}, {0, 4}, {1}, {2}};
int start = 0;
search(graph, start);
}
}
```

#*Complexity*

- Time Complexity: O(V + E), where V is vertices and E is edges.
- Space Complexity: O(V), for visited array and recursive stack.

#*Use Cases for example*

- Traversing social networks.
- Web crawlers.
- Finding connected components.

#*Variants of this algorithm include:*

- Pre-order DFS (current node before neighbors).
- Post-order DFS (current node after neighbors).
- In-order DFS (current node between neighbors).

## Conclusion
In this article, we learned about Depth first search and implemented it in Java.
