<p>As we have talked on the seminar, iterative approach to implementing DFS is not very intuitive and is a very easy way how to create an incorrect implementation.</p>
<p>On the other hand, we have seen iterative implementation in the exercises and I have also prepared two from which one was similar to recursive implementation without colors from exercises and the other one used features of high-level languages.</p>

<p>This approach is similar to the iterative solution from the exercises, but it does not keep the index of the next successor, therefore it always iterates through all of them, which raises the time complexity.</p>

<p>On the other hand, we do not actually have to depend on the representation of the graph. In this case, we just <em>somehow</em> obtain the iterator (which yields all of the succesors) and keep it in the stack.</p>

<p>( The way we manipulate with the iterators is closest to the C# implementation. Apart from the <code>Iterator</code> thing :) In case you tried to implement it in C++, you would more than likely need to change the check, since you would get first successor right at the beginning )</p>
<p>So here we don&#x27;t keep indices, but the iterators. We can also check existence of other successors easily: by the iterator moving after the last successor.</p>
<p>Closer explanation of the <em>iterator shenanigans</em> follows. In the beginning, either <code>start</code> or when pushing new vertex, we are pushing an iterator that points <em>just before</em> the first successor. When populating <code>lastVertex</code> and <code>successors</code> in the <code>while</code>-loop, we take the element from the top of the stack. <code>MoveNext</code> returns <code>true</code> if there is an element, i.e. successor in this case. If it returns <code>false</code> we have nothing to do and we pop the vertex from the stack (also set finishing time and color). If we have successor we check if it has been already visited or not. If has not, we set discovery time and color accordingly, also we add it to stack.</p>

<p>In case you want to play around with the code. At the beginning there is a link to the C# implementation that can be used. It has a basic representation of graph and includes BFS/DFS implementation in classes.</p>
<p>In <code>Program.cs</code> you can also find a method that returns graph we used on the seminar.</p></div><footer class="theme-doc-footer docusaurus-mt-lg"><div class="theme-doc-footer-tags-row row margin-bottom--sm"><div class="col"><b>Tags:</b><ul class="tags_jXut padding--none margin-left--sm"><li class="tag_QGVx"><a class="tag_zVej tagRegular_sFm0" href="/algorithms/tags/csharp/">csharp</a></li><li class="tag_QGVx"><a class="tag_zVej tagRegular_sFm0" href="/algorithms/tags/graphs/">graphs</a></li><li class="tag_QGVx"><a class="tag_zVej tagRegular_sFm0" href="/algorithms/tags/iterators/">iterators</a></li><li class="tag_QGVx"><a class="tag_zVej tagRegular_sFm0" href="/algorithms/tags/iterative/">iterative</a></li></ul></div></div><div class="theme-doc-footer-edit-meta-row row"><div class="col"><a href="https://github.com/mfocko/blog/tree/main/algorithms/10-graphs/2021-05-18-iterative-and-iterators.md" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="theme-edit-this-page"><svg fill="currentColor" height="20" width="20" viewBox="0 0 40 40" class="iconEdit_Z9Sw" aria-hidden="true"><g><path d="m34.5 11.7l-3 3.1-6.3-6.3 3.1-3q0.5-0.5 1.2-0.5t1.1 0.5l3.9 3.9q0.5 0.4 0.5 1.1t-0.5 1.2z m-29.5 17.1l18.4-18.5 6.3 6.3-18.4 18.4h-6.3v-6.2z"></path></g></svg>Edit this page</a></div><div class="col lastUpdated_vwxv"><span class="theme-last-updated">Last updated<!-- --> on <b><time datetime="2021-05-18T00:00:00.000Z">May 18, 2021</time></b></span></div></div></footer></article><nav class="pagination-nav docusaurus-mt-lg" aria-label="Docs pages"><a class="pagination-nav__link pagination-nav__link--prev" href="/algorithms/category/graphs/"><div class="pagination-nav__sublabel">Previous</div><div class="pagination-nav__label">Graphs</div></a><a class="pagination-nav__link pagination-nav__link--next" href="/algorithms/graphs/bfs-tree/"><div class="pagination-nav__sublabel">Next</div><div class="pagination-nav__label">Distance boundaries from BFS tree on undirected graphs</div></a></nav></div></div><div class="col col--3"><div class="tableOfContents_bqdL thin-scrollbar theme-doc-toc-desktop"><ul class="table-of-contents table-of-contents__left-border"><li><a href="#introduction" class="table-of-contents__link toc-highlight">Introduction</a></li><li><a href="#different-implementations" class="table-of-contents__link toc-highlight">Different implementations</a><ul><li><a href="#recursive-dfs-implementation-from-exercises-without-colors" class="table-of-contents__link toc-highlight">Recursive DFS implementation from exercises without colors</a></li><li><a href="#iterative-dfs-from-the-exercises" class="table-of-contents__link toc-highlight">Iterative DFS from the exercises</a></li><li><a href="#my-iterative-with-path-in-stack" class="table-of-contents__link toc-highlight">My iterative with path in stack</a></li><li><a href="#my-iterative-solution-with-iterators" class="table-of-contents__link toc-highlight">My iterative solution with iterators</a></li></ul></li><li><a href="#implementation" class="table-of-contents__link toc-highlight">Implementation</a></li></ul></div></div></div></div></main></div></div></div><footer class="footer footer--dark"><div class="container container-fluid"><div class="row footer__links"><div class="col footer__col"><div class="footer__title">Git</div><ul class="footer__items clean-list"><li class="footer__item"><a href="https://github.com/mfocko" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="footer__link-item">GitHub<svg width="13.5" height="13.5" aria-hidden="true" viewBox="0 0 24 24" class="iconExternalLink_nPIU"><path fill="currentColor" d="M21 13v10h-21v-19h12v2h-10v15h17v-8h2zm3-12h-10.988l4.035 4-6.977 7.07 2.828 2.828 6.977-7.07 4.125 4.172v-11z"></path></svg></a></li><li class="footer__item"><a href="https://gitlab.com/mfocko" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="footer__link-item">GitLab<svg width="13.5" height="13.5" aria-hidden="true" viewBox="0 0 24 24" class="iconExternalLink_nPIU"><path fill="currentColor" d="M21 13v10h-21v-19h12v2h-10v15h17v-8h2zm3-12h-10.988l4.035 4-6.977 7.07
