DFS

The provided code implements a Depth-First Search (DFS) algorithm on a graph


represented as an adjacency matrix. Let's go through it step by step:

1. The necessary header files, <iostream> and <stack>, are included.


2. The constant n is defined with a value of 6. This represents the size of the
graph, assuming it has 6 vertices.
3. The array visited is declared with a size of n and initialized with zeros. It will be
used to keep track of visited vertices during the DFS traversal.
4. The function DFS is defined, which takes two parameters: the graph
represented as a 2D array graph[n][n] and the starting vertex start.
5. Inside the DFS function: a. The visited array is updated to mark the start vertex
as visited. b. A loop is initiated to iterate over all the vertices of the graph. c.
For each vertex, if there is an edge between start and i (graph[start][i] == 1)
and the vertex i has not been visited yet (!visited[i]), the following steps are
performed:
 The edge between start and i is printed using cout.
 The DFS function is recursively called with the vertex i as the new
starting vertex.
6. The main function is defined.
7. Inside the main function: a. Two variables v and graph are declared. v will store
the starting vertex, and graph is the adjacency matrix representation of the
graph. b. The user is prompted to enter the adjacency matrix values for the
graph. c. Two nested loops are used to read the matrix values from the user
and store them in the graph array. d. The user is prompted to enter the starting
vertex for the DFS traversal. e. The message "DFS of Graph:" is printed. f. The
DFS function is called with the graph and v as arguments. g. The main function
returns 0, indicating successful execution.

Overall, this code prompts the user to enter an adjacency matrix representing a
graph, as well as a starting vertex. It then performs a Depth-First Search on the
graph, starting from the specified vertex, and prints the edges encountered during
the traversal.
