Depth-first traversal

A depth-first traversal of a tree visit a node and then recursively visits the subtrees of that node. Likewise, depth-first traversal of a graph visits a vertex and then recursively visits all the vertices adjacent to that node. The catch is that the graph may having cycles, but the traversal must visit each vertex at most once. The solution to the problem is to keep track of the nodes that have been visited, so that the traversal does not undergo the fate of infinite recursion.
