Clone an undirected graph. Each node in the graph contains a label
and a list of its neighbors
.
OJ's undirected graph serialization:
Nodes are labeled uniquely.
We use#
as a separator for each node, and
,
as a separator for node label and each neighbor of the node.
As an example, consider the serialized graph {0,1,2#1,2#2,2}
.
The graph has a total of three nodes, and therefore contains three parts as separated by #
.
- First node is labeled as
0
. Connect node0
to both nodes1
and2
. - Second node is labeled as
1
. Connect node1
to node2
. - Third node is labeled as
2
. Connect node2
to node2
(itself), thus forming a self-cycle.
There are two solutions for this problem both based on BFS
one iterative another recursive.
The time complexity if O(V+E) and space is the same.
we need to maintain the que.
1. Recursive:
# Definition for a undirected graph node
# class UndirectedGraphNode:
# def __init__(self, x):
# self.label = x
# self.neighbors = []
class Solution:
# @param node, a undirected graph node
# @return a undirected graph node
def __init__(self):
self.dict={None:None}
def cloneGraph(self, node):
if node==None:
return None
head=UndirectedGraphNode(node.label)
self.dict[node]=head
for n in node.neighbors:
if n in self.dict:
head.neighbors.append(self.dict[n])
else:
neigh=self.cloneGraph(n)
head.neighbors.append(neigh)
return head
For iterative solution.
It looks more intuitive.
# Definition for a undirected graph node
# class UndirectedGraphNode:
# def __init__(self, x):
# self.label = x
# self.neighbors = []
class Solution:
# @param node, a undirected graph node
# @return a undirected graph node
def cloneGraph(self, node):
if node==None:
return node
que=[node]
head=UndirectedGraphNode(node.label)
dict={node:head}
while que:
curr=que.pop(0)
for n in curr.neighbors:
if n in dict:
dict[curr].neighbors.append(dict[n])
else:
que.append(n)
copy=UndirectedGraphNode(n.label)
dict[n]=copy
dict[curr].neighbors.append(copy)
return head
