Decode the Coding Interview in Go: Real-World Examples

Reconstruct Itinerary

Explore how to reconstruct an itinerary from airline tickets using graph theory and depth-first search in Go. Understand the algorithm that sorts and traverses airports to find the smallest lexical itinerary, and analyze its time and space complexity for effective coding interview preparation.

We'll cover the following...

Description

Assume we have an array of airline tickets represented as pairs of departure and arrival airports like [from, to]. We have to reconstruct the itinerary in order. All tickets belong to a man who departs from a specified location, e.g., JFK. Therefore, the itinerary must begin with JFK. There might be multiple valid itineraries; you must return the itinerary with the smallest lexical order.

Constraints

Consider the following constraints:

  • 1 <= tickets.length <= 300
  • tickets[i].length must be 2.
  • fromi.lengthfrom_i.length, toi.lengthto_i.length == 3
  • fromifrom_i and
