Leetcode Problem 685. Redundant Connection II

685. Redundant Connection II

Leetcode Solutions

Detecting Redundant Connection with Union-Find

  1. Initialize parent array to keep track of each node's parent.
  2. Initialize two variables, candA and candB, to store candidate edges if a node has two parents.
  3. Iterate through the edges: a. If the current node does not have a parent, set its parent. b. If the current node already has a parent, store the current and previous edges as candA and candB.
  4. Initialize Union-Find structure with each node as its own parent.
  5. Iterate through the edges again: a. If the current edge was marked with a zero node (indicating a second parent), skip it. b. Perform Union-Find. If a cycle is detected, store the current edge.
  6. If a cycle is detected and candA is not empty, return candA. Otherwise, return candB or the last edge that created the cycle.
