There is a tree (i.e., a connected, undirected graph with no cycles) structure country network consisting of n cities numbered from 0 to n - 1 and exactly n - 1 roads. The capital city is city 0. You are given a 2D integer array roads where roads[i] = [ai, bi] denotes that there exists a bidirectional road connecting cities ai and bi.

There is a meeting for the representatives of each city. The meeting is in the capital city.

There is a car in each city. You are given an integer seats that indicates the number of seats in each car.

A representative can use the car in their city to travel or change the car and ride with another representative. The cost of traveling between two cities is one liter of fuel.

Return the minimum number of liters of fuel to reach the capital city.

Example 1:

Input: roads = [[0,1],[0,2],[0,3]], seats = 5
Output: 3
Explanation:
- Representative1 goes directly to the capital with 1 liter of fuel.
- Representative2 goes directly to the capital with 1 liter of fuel.
- Representative3 goes directly to the capital with 1 liter of fuel.
It costs 3 liters of fuel at minimum.
It can be proven that 3 is the minimum number of liters of fuel needed.


Example 2:

Input: roads = [[3,1],[3,2],[1,0],[0,4],[0,5],[4,6]], seats = 2
Output: 7
Explanation:
- Representative2 goes directly to city 3 with 1 liter of fuel.
- Representative2 and representative3 go together to city 1 with 1 liter of fuel.
- Representative2 and representative3 go together to the capital with 1 liter of fuel.
- Representative1 goes directly to the capital with 1 liter of fuel.
- Representative5 goes directly to the capital with 1 liter of fuel.
- Representative6 goes directly to city 4 with 1 liter of fuel.
- Representative4 and representative6 go together to the capital with 1 liter of fuel.
It costs 7 liters of fuel at minimum.
It can be proven that 7 is the minimum number of liters of fuel needed.


Example 3:

Input: roads = [], seats = 1
Output: 0
Explanation: No representatives need to travel to the capital city.


Constraints:

• 1 <= n <= 105
• roads.length == n - 1
• roads[i].length == 2
• 0 <= ai, bi < n
• ai != bi
• roads represents a valid tree.
• 1 <= seats <= 105

## Solution: Greedy + DFS

To reach the minimum cost, we must share cars if possible, say X reps from children nodes to an intermediate node u on the way towards capital 0. Then they all changes cars at node u, and we need (X + 1) // seats cars/fuel from u to 0.

We use DFS to count # of reps at each node u while accumulating the total cost.

Time complexity: O(n)
Space complexity: O(n)

## C++

You are given an integer n. There is an undirected graph with n nodes, numbered from 0 to n - 1. You are given a 2D integer array edges where edges[i] = [ai, bi] denotes that there exists an undirected edge connecting nodes ai and bi.

Return the number of pairs of different nodes that are unreachable from each other.

Example 1:

Input: n = 3, edges = [[0,1],[0,2],[1,2]]
Output: 0
Explanation: There are no pairs of nodes that are unreachable from each other. Therefore, we return 0.


Example 2:

Input: n = 7, edges = [[0,2],[0,5],[2,4],[1,6],[5,4]]
Output: 14
Explanation: There are 14 pairs of nodes that are unreachable from each other:
[[0,1],[0,3],[0,6],[1,2],[1,3],[1,4],[1,5],[2,3],[2,6],[3,4],[3,5],[3,6],[4,6],[5,6]].
Therefore, we return 14.


Constraints:

• 1 <= n <= 105
• 0 <= edges.length <= 2 * 105
• edges[i].length == 2
• 0 <= ai, bi < n
• ai != bi
• There are no repeated edges.

Time complexity: O(V+E)
Space complexity: O(V+E)

## Solution 2: Union Find

Time complexity: O(V+E)
Space complexity: O(V)

## C++

You are given a positive integer n representing the number of nodes of a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG). The nodes are numbered from 0 to n - 1 (inclusive).

You are also given a 2D integer array edges, where edges[i] = [fromi, toi] denotes that there is a unidirectional edge from fromi to toi in the graph.

Return a list answer, where answer[i] is the list of ancestors of the ith node, sorted in ascending order.

A node u is an ancestor of another node v if u can reach v via a set of edges.

Example 1:

Input: n = 8, edgeList = [[0,3],[0,4],[1,3],[2,4],[2,7],[3,5],[3,6],[3,7],[4,6]]

- Nodes 0, 1, and 2 do not have any ancestors.
- Node 3 has two ancestors 0 and 1.
- Node 4 has two ancestors 0 and 2.
- Node 5 has three ancestors 0, 1, and 3.
- Node 6 has five ancestors 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4.
- Node 7 has four ancestors 0, 1, 2, and 3.


Example 2:

Input: n = 5, edgeList = [[0,1],[0,2],[0,3],[0,4],[1,2],[1,3],[1,4],[2,3],[2,4],[3,4]]
Output: [[],[0],[0,1],[0,1,2],[0,1,2,3]]
Explanation:
The above diagram represents the input graph.
- Node 0 does not have any ancestor.
- Node 1 has one ancestor 0.
- Node 2 has two ancestors 0 and 1.
- Node 3 has three ancestors 0, 1, and 2.
- Node 4 has four ancestors 0, 1, 2, and 3.


Constraints:

• 0 <= edges.length <= min(2000, n * (n - 1) / 2)
• edges[i].length == 2
• 0 <= fromi, toi <= n - 1
• fromi != toi
• There are no duplicate edges.
• The graph is directed and acyclic.

## Solution: DFS

For each source node S, add it to all its reachable nodes by traversing the entire graph.
In one pass, only traverse each child node at most once.

Time complexity: O(VE)
Space complexity: (V+E)

## C++

There is a family tree rooted at 0 consisting of n nodes numbered 0 to n - 1. You are given a 0-indexed integer array parents, where parents[i] is the parent for node i. Since node 0 is the rootparents[0] == -1.

There are 105 genetic values, each represented by an integer in the inclusive range [1, 105]. You are given a 0-indexed integer array nums, where nums[i] is a distinct genetic value for node i.

Return an array ans of length n where ans[i] is the smallest genetic value that is missing from the subtree rooted at node i.

The subtree rooted at a node x contains node x and all of its descendant nodes.

Example 1:

Input: parents = [-1,0,0,2], nums = [1,2,3,4]
Output: [5,1,1,1]
Explanation: The answer for each subtree is calculated as follows:
- 0: The subtree contains nodes [0,1,2,3] with values [1,2,3,4]. 5 is the smallest missing value.
- 1: The subtree contains only node 1 with value 2. 1 is the smallest missing value.
- 2: The subtree contains nodes [2,3] with values [3,4]. 1 is the smallest missing value.
- 3: The subtree contains only node 3 with value 4. 1 is the smallest missing value.


Example 2:

Input: parents = [-1,0,1,0,3,3], nums = [5,4,6,2,1,3]
Output: [7,1,1,4,2,1]
Explanation: The answer for each subtree is calculated as follows:
- 0: The subtree contains nodes [0,1,2,3,4,5] with values [5,4,6,2,1,3]. 7 is the smallest missing value.
- 1: The subtree contains nodes [1,2] with values [4,6]. 1 is the smallest missing value.
- 2: The subtree contains only node 2 with value 6. 1 is the smallest missing value.
- 3: The subtree contains nodes [3,4,5] with values [2,1,3]. 4 is the smallest missing value.
- 4: The subtree contains only node 4 with value 1. 2 is the smallest missing value.
- 5: The subtree contains only node 5 with value 3. 1 is the smallest missing value.


Example 3:

Input: parents = [-1,2,3,0,2,4,1], nums = [2,3,4,5,6,7,8]
Output: [1,1,1,1,1,1,1]
Explanation: The value 1 is missing from all the subtrees.


Constraints:

• n == parents.length == nums.length
• 2 <= n <= 105
• 0 <= parents[i] <= n - 1 for i != 0
• parents[0] == -1
• parents represents a valid tree.
• 1 <= nums[i] <= 105
• Each nums[i] is distinct.

## Solution: DFS on a single path

One ancestors of node with value of 1 will have missing values greater than 1. We do a dfs on the path that from node with value 1 to the root.

Time complexity: O(n + max(nums))
Space complexity: O(n + max(nums))

## C++

Given a string s, find two disjoint palindromic subsequences of s such that the product of their lengths is maximized. The two subsequences are disjoint if they do not both pick a character at the same index.

Return the maximum possible product of the lengths of the two palindromic subsequences.

subsequence is a string that can be derived from another string by deleting some or no characters without changing the order of the remaining characters. A string is palindromic if it reads the same forward and backward.

Example 1:

Input: s = "leetcodecom"
Output: 9
Explanation: An optimal solution is to choose "ete" for the 1st subsequence and "cdc" for the 2nd subsequence.
The product of their lengths is: 3 * 3 = 9.


Example 2:

Input: s = "bb"
Output: 1
Explanation: An optimal solution is to choose "b" (the first character) for the 1st subsequence and "b" (the second character) for the 2nd subsequence.
The product of their lengths is: 1 * 1 = 1.


Example 3:

Input: s = "accbcaxxcxx"
Output: 25
Explanation: An optimal solution is to choose "accca" for the 1st subsequence and "xxcxx" for the 2nd subsequence.
The product of their lengths is: 5 * 5 = 25.


Constraints:

• 2 <= s.length <= 12
• s consists of lowercase English letters only.
