Clone Graph

133. Clone Graph

Clone an undirected graph. Each node in the graph contains a label and a list of its neighbors.

OJ’s undirected graph serialization: Nodes are labeled uniquely.

We use # as a separator for each node, and , as a separator for node label and each neighbor of the node. As an example, consider the serialized graph {0,1,2#1,2#2,2}.

The graph has a total of three nodes, and therefore contains three parts as separated by #.

  1. First node is labeled as 0. Connect node 0 to both nodes 1 and 2.
  2. Second node is labeled as 1. Connect node 1 to node 2.
  3. Third node is labeled as 2. Connect node 2 to node 2 (itself), thus forming a self-cycle. Visually, the graph looks like the following:
       1
      / \
     /   \
    0 --- 2
         / \
         \_/

Code:

/**
 * Definition for undirected graph.
 * class UndirectedGraphNode {
 *     int label;
 *     List<UndirectedGraphNode> neighbors;
 *     UndirectedGraphNode(int x) { label = x; neighbors = new ArrayList<UndirectedGraphNode>(); }
 * };
 */
public class Solution {
    Map<Integer, UndirectedGraphNode> map = new HashMap<Integer, UndirectedGraphNode>();
    public UndirectedGraphNode cloneGraph(UndirectedGraphNode node) {
        
        return clone(node);
    }
    
    public UndirectedGraphNode clone(UndirectedGraphNode node) {
        if (node == null) return null;
        if (map.containsKey(node.label)) {
            return map.get(node.label);
        }
        UndirectedGraphNode newNode = new UndirectedGraphNode(node.label);
        map.put(newNode.label, newNode);
        for (UndirectedGraphNode neighber : node.neighbors) {
            newNode.neighbors.add(clone(neighber));
        }
        return newNode;
    }
}

解题思路

  • 使用递归函数clone,并且用HashMap辅助存储图中的节点;
  • 在递归的过程中,如果元素存在于map中,则返回node;
  • 对于node的所有neighbour递归。
