684. Redundant Connection
Difficulty: Medium
https://leetcode.com/problems/redundant-connection/
──────────────────────────────────────────────────
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.
Example 1:
Input: edges = [[1,2],[1,3],[2,3]]
Output: [2,3]
Example 2:
Input: edges = [[1,2],[2,3],[3,4],[1,4],[1,5]]
Output: [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.
