684 Redundant Connection

684 Redundant Connection

Redundant Connection image

In this problem, a tree is an undirected graph that is connected and has no cycles.

You are given a graph that started as a tree with n nodes labeled from 1 to n, with one additional edge added. The added edge has two different vertices chosen from 1 to n, and was not an edge that already existed. The graph is represented as an array edges of length n where edges[i] = [ai, bi] indicates that there is an edge between nodes ai and bi in the graph.

Return an edge that can be removed so that the resulting graph is a tree of *n nodes*. If there are multiple answers, return the answer that occurs last in the input.

 

Example 1:

image

1

3
4
**Input:** edges = [[1,2],[1,3],[2,3]]
**Output:** [2,3]

Example 2:

**Input:** edges = [[1,2],[2,3],[3,4],[1,4],[1,5]]
**Output:** [1,4]

 

Constraints:

n == edges.length
3 <= n <= 1000
edges[i].length == 2
1 <= ai < bi <= edges.length
ai != bi
There are no repeated edges.
The given graph is connected.
