# 802. Find Eventual Safe States ###### tags: `leetcode` ## 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: ![](https://s3-lc-upload.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2018/03/17/picture1.png) >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 - To make the question clear, there are two types of nodes we need to care about - terminal node: no outgoing edge, the final stop - safe node: all the outgoing edges points to safe node and terminal node - As the result, use `bfs` to count the edges to answer and try to reverse the edges in order to backtrack the added safe nodes - To begin with, record all the outgoing edges count ```cpp= vector<int> out(graph.size()), ans; vector<vector<int>> rev(graph.size()); queue<int> q; for (int i = 0; i < graph.size(); i++) { for (auto &j : graph[i]) rev[j].push_back(i); out[i] = graph[i].size(); if (out[i] == 0) q.push(i); } ``` - For all the nodes in queue, put them into answer vector and decrease all the starting points to it by 1 and check the outgoing count for all of them in order to add the edges ```cpp= while (!q.empty()) { int cur = q.front(); q.pop(); ans.push_back(cur); for (auto &j : rev[cur]) if (--out[j] == 0) q.push(j); } ``` - After all, sort the array and return it ```cpp= sort(ans.begin(), ans.end()); return ans; ```
