Minimum Height Trees

Minimum Height Trees rewards clean traversal structure more than any clever shortcut. Interviewers love it because it reveals your traversal modeling and your edge-case discipline. The trap is revisiting states or missing a base case; your visited/queue logic needs to be tight.

Graph Interview Questions

BFS explores by layers using a queue; DFS explores deeply using a stack or recursion -- the same traversal with a different container. Choose BFS for shortest-path in unweighted graphs and "minimum steps," DFS for counting components, islands, and tree recursion.
