Question

1466. Reorder Routes to Make All Paths Lead to the City Zero

中文文档

Description

There are n cities numbered from 0 to n - 1 and n - 1 roads such that there is only one way to travel between two different cities (this network form a tree). Last year, The ministry of transport decided to orient the roads in one direction because they are too narrow.

Roads are represented by connections where connections[i] = [ai, bi] represents a road from city ai to city bi.

This year, there will be a big event in the capital (city 0), and many people want to travel to this city.

Your task consists of reorienting some roads such that each city can visit the city 0. Return the minimum number of edges changed.

It's guaranteed that each city can reach city 0 after reorder.

 

Example 1:

Input: n = 6, connections = [[0,1],[1,3],[2,3],[4,0],[4,5]]
Output: 3
Explanation: Change the direction of edges show in red such that each node can reach the node 0 (capital).

Example 2:

Input: n = 5, connections = [[1,0],[1,2],[3,2],[3,4]]
Output: 2
Explanation: Change the direction of edges show in red such that each node can reach the node 0 (capital).

Example 3:

Input: n = 3, connections = [[1,0],[2,0]]
Output: 0

 

Constraints:

• 2 <= n <= 5 * 104
• connections.length == n - 1
• connections[i].length == 2
• 0 <= ai, bi <= n - 1
• ai != bi

Solutions

Solution 1: DFS

The route map given in the problem has $n$ nodes and $n-1$ edges. If we ignore the direction of the edges, then these $n$ nodes form a tree. The problem requires us to change the direction of some edges so that each node can reach node $0$.

We might as well consider starting from node $0$ and reaching all other nodes. The direction is opposite to the problem description, which means that when we build the graph, for the directed edge $[a, b]$, we should regard it as the directed edge $[b, a]$. That is to say, if it is from $a$ to $b$, we need to change the direction once; if it is from $b$ to $a$, no direction change is needed.

Next, we only need to start from node $0$, search all other nodes, and during the process, if we encounter an edge that needs to change direction, we accumulate the number of direction changes once.

The time complexity is $O(n)$, and the space complexity is $O(n)$. Here, $n$ is the number of nodes in the problem.
