Number of Provinces

Problem statement

There are n cities. Some of them are connected, while some are not. If city a is connected directly with city b, and city b is connected directly with city c, then city a is connected indirectly with city c.

A province is a group of directly or indirectly connected cities and no other cities outside of the group.

You are given an n x n matrix isConnected where isConnected[i][j] = 1 if the ith city and the jth city are directly connected, and isConnected[i][j] = 0 otherwise.

Return the total number of provinces.

Example 1:

Input: isConnected = [[1,1,0],[1,1,0],[0,0,1]]Output: 2

Example 2:

Input: isConnected = [[1,0,0],[0,1,0],[0,0,1]]Output: 3

Constraints:

  • 1 <= n <= 200
  • n == isConnected.length
  • n == isConnected[i].length
  • isConnected[i][j] is 1 or 0.
  • isConnected[i][i] == 1
  • isConnected[i][j] == isConnected[j][i]

My solution

/**
* @param {number[][]} isConnected
* @return {number}
*/
var findCircleNum = function(isConnected) {
const graph = new Map();
const visited = new Set();
let count = 0;

for (let i = 0; i < isConnected.length; i++) {
if (!graph.has(i)) {
graph.set(i, new Set())
}
for (let j = 0; j < isConnected[i].length; j++) {
if (i !== j && isConnected[i][j] === 1) {

graph.set(i, graph.get(i).add(j))
}
}
}

// console.log(graph)

for (let key of graph.keys()) {
if (!visited.has(key)) {
count++
traverse(graph, key, visited)
}
}

// console.log(visited)

return count;
};


function traverse(graph, node, visited) {
const queue = [node];

while(queue.length) {
const curr = queue.shift();

visited.add(curr);

// console.log(graph.get(curr))

for (const currNode of graph.get(curr)) {
if (!visited.has(currNode)) {
queue.push(currNode)
}
}
}
}
