C program for dfs (depth first search)

c program for dfs(depth first search) using array. DFS is Depht first Search, which is used to traverse un-weighted Graph.  There are two most popular graph traversing technique, i.e DFS and BFS. DFs make use of Stack while, BFS make use data structure Queue. Also see c program for bfs.
