Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given a directed graph with vertices A, B, C, and edges A→B, B→C, C→A. What would the DFS traversal starting from A yield?

💡 Hint: Consider each edge and its direction.

Challenge 2 Hard

Design an algorithm to detect cycles in an undirected graph using DFS. Outline your approach.

💡 Hint: Focus on revisiting nodes besides the direct parent.
