Solution: Collect Coins in a Tree
Explore an efficient method to determine the minimum number of edges to traverse in an unrooted tree to collect all coins and return to the start. Learn how to prune non-essential branches and remove outer layers to simplify the problem using a topological sort approach. Understand the reasoning behind pruning and how to apply it to optimize traversal in coding interview challenges.
