/**
 *  The {@code HopcroftKarp} class represents a data type for computing a
 *  <em>maximum (cardinality) matching</em> and a
 *  <em>minimum (cardinality) vertex cover</em> in a bipartite graph.
 *  A <em>bipartite graph</em> in a graph whose vertices can be partitioned
 *  into two disjoint sets such that every edge has one endpoint in either set.
 *  A <em>matching</em> in a graph is a subset of its edges with no common
 *  vertices. A <em>maximum matching</em> is a matching with the maximum number
 *  of edges.
 *  A <em>perfect matching</em> is a matching which matches all vertices in the graph.
 *  A <em>vertex cover</em> in a graph is a subset of its vertices such that
 *  every edge is incident to at least one vertex. A <em>minimum vertex cover</em>
 *  is a vertex cover with the minimum number of vertices.
 *  By Konig's theorem, in any bipartite
 *  graph, the maximum number of edges in matching equals the minimum number
 *  of vertices in a vertex cover.
 *  The maximum matching problem in <em>nonbipartite</em> graphs is
 *  also important, but all known algorithms for this more general problem
 *  are substantially more complicated.
 *  <p>
 *  This implementation uses the <em>Hopcroft-Karp algorithm</em>.
 *  The order of growth of the running time in the worst case is
 *  (<em>E</em> + <em>V</em>) sqrt(<em>V</em>),
 *  where <em>E</em> is the number of edges and <em>V</em> is the number
 *  of vertices in the graph. It uses extra space (not including the graph)
 *  proportional to <em>V</em>.
 *  <p>
 *  See also {@link BipartiteMatching}, which solves the problem in
 *  O(<em>E V</em>) time using the <em>alternating path algorithm</em>
 *  and <a href = "https://algs4.cs.princeton.edu/65reductions/BipartiteMatchingToMaxflow.java.html">BipartiteMatchingToMaxflow</a>,
 *  which solves the problem in O(<em>E V</em>) time via a reduction
 *  to the maxflow problem.
 *  <p>
