There is an undirected star graph consisting of n nodes labeled from 1 to n. A star graph is a graph where there is one center node and exactly n - 1 edges that connect the center node with every other node.
You are given a 2D integer array edges where each edges[i] = [ui, vi] indicates that there is an edge between the nodes ui and vi. Return the center of the given star graph.
Example 1:
Input: edges = [[1,2],[2,3],[4,2]]
Output: 2
Explanation: As shown in the figure above, node 2 is connected to every other node, so 2 is the center.
Example 2:
Input: edges = [[1,2],[5,1],[1,3],[1,4]]
Output: 1
Solution
class Solution:
def findCenter(self, edges: List[List[int]]) -> int:
out = [0] * (len(edges) + 2)
for edge in edges:
out[edge[0]] += 1
out[edge[1]] += 1
return out.index(max(out))
