Number of Connected Components in an Undirected Graph
Problem Statement
Given an undirected graph represented by 'n' nodes labeled from 0
to n-1
and a list of undirected edges (each edge is a pair of nodes), determine the number of connected components in the graph. A connected component is a group of nodes that are directly or indirectly linked to each other through the edges.
Examples
- Example 1
- Input:
n = 5
,edges = [[0,1], [2,3], [3,4]]
- Input:
- Expected Output:
2
- Justification: Two components are:
0-1
, and2-3-4
.
- Example 2
- Input:
n = 4
,edges = [[0,1], [1,2], [2,3]]
- Input:
- Expected Output:
1
- Justification: All the nodes are connected in a single chain:
0-1-2-3
.
- Example 3
- Input:
n = 3
,edges = [[0,1]]
- Input:
- Expected Output:
2
- Justification: Two connected components exist:
0-1
and an isolated node2
.
