Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given a graph represented using an adjacency list, analyze its structure using DFS to determine if it contains cycles. Provide the step-wise execution.
💡 Hint: Cycling might reveal itself by re-entering a previously visited node.
Develop a DFS function that computes the connected components of a graph. Explain how you will classify connected nodes during your traversal.
💡 Hint: Think about how you can maintain a list while traversing.
