Solution: Reorder Routes to Make All Paths Lead to the City Zero

Understand how to solve the problem of reorienting roads so every city can reach city zero by representing the network as a graph. Learn to build an adjacency list with direction flags and apply DFS to count minimum road reversals efficiently in a tree structure.

Statement

There are n cities labeled from 00 to n1n - 1, connected by n1n - 1 roads, so there is only one route between any two cities. This road network forms a tree structure.

Last year, the Ministry of transport made all roads one-way due to their narrow width. These roads are represented as connections, where each entry connections[i] =[ai,bi]= [a_i, b_i] means there is a road going from city aia_i to city bib_i ...
