In this problem, a tree is an undirected graph that is connected and has no cycles.
You are given a graph that started as a tree with n nodes labeled from 1
to n
, with one additional edge added. The added edge has two different vertices chosen from 1
to n
, and was not an edge that already existed. The graph is represented as an array edges
of length n
where edges[i] = [ai, bi]
indicates that there is an edge between nodes ai
and bi
in the graph.
Return an edge that can be removed so that the resulting graph is a tree of n
nodes. If there are multiple answers, return the answer that occurs last in the input.
Input Format
First Parameter - matrix edges
of size m x n
Output Format
Return the array of number.
Example 1:
Input:
3 2
1 2
1 3
2 3
Output:
2 3
Explanation: 3 2 represents the size of the matrix and while traversing the matrix, edge 2 3 will form cycle. so, we need to remove the edge 2 3.
Example 2:
Input:
5 2
1 2
2 3
3 4
1 4
1 5
Output:
1 4
Explanation: 5 2 represents the size of the matrix and while traversing the matrix, edge 1 4 will form cycle. so, we need to remove the edge 1 4.
Constraints:
- n ==
edges.length
- 3 <=
n
<= 1000 edges[i].length
== 2- 1 <= ai < bi <=
edges.length
- ai != bi
- There are no repeated edges.
- The given graph is connected.
- Expected Time Complexity: O(N)
- Expected Auxiliary Space: O(N)
