PT07X - Vertex Cover |
You are given an unweighted, undirected tree. Write a program to find a vertex set of minimum size in this tree such that each edge has as least one of its end-points in that set.
Input
The first line of the input file contains one integer N --- number of nodes in the tree (0 < N <= 100000). Next N-1 lines contain N-1 edges of that tree --- Each line contains a pair (u, v) means there is an edge between node u and node v (1 <= u,v <= N).
Output
Print number of nodes in the satisfied vertex set on one line.
Example 1
Input: 3 1 2 1 3 Output: 1 Explanation: The set can be {1}
Example 2
Input: 3 1 2 2 3 Output: 1 Explanation: The set can be {2}

Can someone please say how will be the output form for N=1? |

@osmanay2 Answer should be 5 in your test case. My solution got accepted with that. |

2 states - the vertex number and a boolean used if the parent was used we can call children of current node by making used 0 => let ans returned from this be a we can always call its children by making used as 1 => let ans returned from this be b ans for current vertex is min(a, b + 1) we can not use a vertex only if its parent was used ans is min(dfs(root, 0, -1), dfs(root, 1, -1)) Last edit: 2020-06-26 09:25:56 |
