Why is the time complexity of both DFS and BFS O( V + E )

by

Your sum

v1 + (incident edges) + v2 + (incident edges) + .... + vn + (incident edges)

can be rewritten as

(v1 + v2 + ... + vn) + [(incident_edges v1) + (incident_edges v2) + ... + (incident_edges vn)]

and the first group is O(N) while the other is O(E).
