Problem: Minimum Edge Reversals So Every Node Is Reachable

med
30 min
Try to solve the Minimum Edge Reversals So Every Node Is Reachable problem.

Statement

You are given an integer n representing the number of nodes labeled from 00 to n1n - 1, and a list edges of directed edges where each edges[i] = [u_i, v_i] indicates a one way edge from u_i to v_i.

If you ignore edge directions, the underlying graph forms a tree. For each node x, determine the minimum number of edges that must be reversed so that starting from x, it is possible to reach every other node by following directed edges.

Return an array answer of length n where answer[x] is this minimum number of reversals for node x.

Note: Reversing an edge changes its direction from u -> v to v -> u.

Constraints:

  • 22 \leq n 105\leq 10^5

  • edges.length == n 1- 1

  • edges[i].length =2= 2

  • 00 \leq u_i == edges[i][0] << n

  • 00 \leq v_i == edges[i][1] << n

  • u_i \neq v_i

  • The input is generated such that if all edges were treated as bidirectional, the graph would be a tree.
