+## Overview:
+Two techniques are frequently used for graph traversal: These techniques are called depth-first search (DFS) and breadth-first search (BFS), although we will just talk about BFS. Breadth-first search (BFS) is used to solve many problems, including finding the shortest path in a graph or solving puzzle games such as Rubik’s Cubes.
+
+## What is Breadth First Search in Python?
+Breadth-first search (BFS) is an algorithm for traversing graphs or trees. Breath-first search for trees and graphs are almost the same. BFS uses a queue data structure for finding the shortest path in a graph.
+
+## Algorithm of DFS in Python
+The algorithm works as follows:
+
+* Create a queue and insert any one vertex of the graph at the back of the queue.
+* Initialize a visited array and mark that vertex as visited.
+* Follow the below process till the queue becomes empty:
+  * Remove a front vertex from the queue.
+  * Get all the adjacent vertices of the removed vertex.
+  * If the adjacent vertex has not been visited, mark it as visited and insert it at the back of the queue.
+
+## Time & Space Complexity
+* Time complexity is `O(V+E)`, where V denotes the number of vertices and E denotes the number of edges. 
+* Space complexity is `O(V)`.
