Problem: Find Center of Star Graph

easy
15 min
Explore how to find the center node of a star graph by analyzing edges connecting nodes in an undirected graph. Understand the core properties of star graphs and apply your knowledge to solve this problem efficiently. This lesson helps you develop practical graph analysis skills critical for coding interviews.

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:

  • 33 \leq n 103\leq 10^3

  • edges.length ==== n - 1

  • edges[i].length ==2== 2

  • 11 \leq ui, vi \leq n

  • ui \neq vi

  • The given edges represent a valid star graph.
