BFS

procedure BFS(G, root) is
    let Q be a queue
    label root as explored
    Q.enqueue(root)
    while Q is not empty do
        v := Q.dequeue()

            return v
        for all edges from v to w in G.adjacentEdges(v) do
            if w is not labeled as explored then
                label w as explored
                w.parent := v

DFS

procedure DFS(G, v) is
    label v as discovered
    for all directed edges from v to w that are in G.adjacentEdges(v) do
        if vertex w is not labeled as discovered then
            recursively call DFS(G, w)

procedure DFS_iterative(G, v) is
    let S be a stack
    S.push(v)
    while S is not empty do
        v = S.pop()
        if v is not labeled as discovered then
            label v as discovered
            for all edges from v to w in G.adjacentEdges(v) do 
                S.push(w)

Dijkstra

function Dijkstra(Graph, source):
  
    for each vertex v in Graph.Vertices:
        dist[v] ← INFINITY
        prev[v] ← UNDEFINED
        add v to Q
    dist[source] ← 0

    while Q is not empty:
        u ← vertex in Q with min dist[u]
        remove u from Q
        
        for each neighbor v of u still in Q:
            alt ← dist[u] + Graph.Edges(u, v)
            if alt < dist[v]:
                dist[v] ← alt
                prev[v] ← u

    return dist[], prev[]
