Solution: Find Center of Star Graph

Discover how to identify the center node in a star graph efficiently by leveraging the graph's unique structure. This lesson teaches a constant time solution by comparing nodes in the first two edges, helping you solve interview questions faster while understanding underlying graph patterns.

We'll cover the following...

Statement

Given an array edges where each element edges[i] = [ui, vi] represents an edge between nodes ui and vi in an undirected star graph,A star graph is a graph where one central node is connected to every other node. If there are n nodes, then the central node must be connected to all other n-1 nodes. find the central node of this star graph.

Note: A star graph is a graph where one central node is connected to every other node. This implies that a star graph with n nodes has exactly n - 1 edges.

Constraints:

  • 3≤3 \leq n ≤103\leq 10^3 ...
