visited nodes

[ˈvɪzɪtɪd noʊdz]
noun phrase
nós visitados
1. In computer science and graph theory, nodes (vertices) that have been accessed or traversed during an algorithm execution, typically tracked in data structures like lists or sets to prevent revisiting the same node
The algorithm maintains a list of visited nodes to avoid infinite loops in the graph traversal.
O algoritmo mantém uma lista de nós visitados para evitar loops infinitos na travessia do grafo.
2. Nodes in a network or tree structure that have been examined or processed as part of a search or traversal operation
After the depth-first search completes, all visited nodes are marked in the output.
Após a busca em profundidade terminar, todos os nós visitados são marcados na saída.
This is primarily technical jargon used in software development, computer science education, and algorithm implementation contexts in both Brazil and the United States. It's domain-specific terminology with consistent usage across English and Portuguese-speaking tech communities.
