Detect Cycle in Undirected Graph
Practice this coding question on Coding Gurukul.
Problem statement
A neighborhood network connects stations with undirected links. An inspector needs to know whether the network contains a closed route that returns to its starting station without reusing an edge or intermediate station. Your task Determine whether the undirected graph contains a cycle. Important details The immediate edge back to a traversal parent is not evidence of a cycle, since each undirected edge is seen from both endpoints. Inspect every component, including components not connected to vertex zero. Isolated vertices do not form cycles. Worked example Links 0-1, 1-2 and 2-0 form a triangle, so the answer is true. Removing the last link leaves a path and changes the answer to false.
Input format
First line: n m. Next m lines: endpoints u v of undirected edges. Vertices are numbered 0 through n-1.
Output format
Print true if the condition holds, otherwise false.
Constraints
1 <= n <= 2000; 0 <= m <= 10000; endpoints are valid, with no self-loops or repeated edges.
Sample input
3 3 0 1 1 2 2 0
Sample output
true
