USACO OPEN09 Problem 'hideseek' Analysis

by David Benjamin

Representing the network of barns as a graph where each edge has length 1, we can compute the distance to each node using a breadth-first search (BFS). That is, we maintain a queue of nodes to visit and add nodes to the end of it. The distance to a node is one more than the distance to its parent.
