Class EdgeWeightedDirectedCycle


  • public class EdgeWeightedDirectedCycle
    extends Object
    The EdgeWeightedDirectedCycle class represents a data type for determining whether an edge-weighted digraph has a directed cycle. The hasCycle operation determines whether the edge-weighted digraph has a directed cycle and, if so, the cycle operation returns one.

    This implementation uses depth-first search. The constructor takes Θ(V + E) time in the worst case, where V is the number of vertices and E is the number of edges. Each instance method takes Θ(1) time. It uses Θ(V) extra space (not including the edge-weighted digraph).

    See Topological to compute a topological order if the edge-weighted digraph is acyclic.

    For additional documentation, see Section 4.4 of Algorithms, 4th Edition by Robert Sedgewick and Kevin Wayne.

        public boolean hasCycle()
        Does the edge-weighted digraph have a directed cycle?
        Returns:
        true if the edge-weighted digraph has a directed cycle, false otherwise
      • cycle

        public Iterable<DirectedEdge> cycle()
        Returns a directed cycle if the edge-weighted digraph has a directed cycle, and null otherwise.
        Returns:
        a directed cycle (as an iterable) if the edge-weighted digraph has a directed cycle, and null otherwise
