Kevin Bacon

Utilizes BFS-related methods to implement the Bacon game.

Execution

Simply run Bacon.java's main method. (Note: you may need to rename the pathnames of testfiles, depending on where you place them.)

Overview

This project tackles the important social network problem of finding an actor's "Bacon number." Starting with an actor, see if they have been in a movie with someone who has been in a movie with someone who has been in a movie...who has been in a movie with Kevin Bacon. They're usually at most 6 steps away. Here, the vertices are actors and the edge relationship is "appeared together in a movie." The computational problem is to find the shortest path between two actors.
