802. Find Eventual Safe States

Difficulty Topics

Description

There is a directed graph of n nodes with each node labeled from 0 to n - 1. The graph is represented by a 0-indexed 2D integer array graph where graph[i] is an integer array of nodes adjacent to node i, meaning there is an edge from node i to each node in graph[i].

A node is a terminal node if there are no outgoing edges. A node is a safe node if every possible path starting from that node leads to a terminal node (or another safe node).

Return an array containing all the safe nodes of the graph. The answer should be sorted in ascending order.

 

Example 1:

Illustration of graph

Input: graph = [[1,2],[2,3],[5],[0],[5],[],[]]
Output: [2,4,5,6]
Explanation: The given graph is shown above.
Nodes 5 and 6 are terminal nodes as there are no outgoing edges from either of them.
Every path starting at nodes 2, 4, 5, and 6 all lead to either node 5 or 6.

Example 2:

Input: graph = [[1,2,3,4],[1,2],[3,4],[0,4],[]]
Output: [4]
Explanation:
Only node 4 is a terminal node, and every path starting at node 4 leads to node 4.

 

Constraints:

  • n == graph.length
  • 1 <= n <= 104
  • 0 <= graph[i].length <= n
  • 0 <= graph[i][j] <= n - 1
  • graph[i] is sorted in a strictly increasing order.
  • The graph may contain self-loops.
  • The number of edges in the graph will be in the range [1, 4 * 104].

Solution

find-eventual-safe-states.py
class Solution:
    def eventualSafeNodes(self, graph: List[List[int]]) -> List[int]:
        n = len(graph)
        res = []
        color = [0] * n

        def go(node):
            if len(graph[node]) == 0: return True

            if color[node] != 0: return color[node] == 1

            for nei in graph[node]:
                color[node] = 2
                if not go(nei): 
                    return False
                color[node] = 1

            return True

        return [node for node in range(n) if go(node)]
