## Depth First Search (DFS)
*Depth First Search*, more commonly DFS, is a fundamental graph algorithm that traverses an entire connected component. The rest of this document describes various applications of DFS. Of course, it is one possible way to implement flood fill. *Breadth first search* (BFS) is **not** required for silver.

## Flood Fill
[Flood Fill](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flood_fill) refers to finding the number of connected components in a graph, usually when the graph is a grid.

## Graph Two-Coloring
*Graph two-colorings* is assigning a boolean value to each node of the graph, dictated by the edge configuration
The most common example of a two-colored graph is a *bipartite graph*, in which each edge connects two nodes of opposite colors.
- [CSES Building Teams](https://cses.fi/problemset/task/1668)
### Tutorial
The idea is that we can arbitrarily label a node and then run DFS. Every time we visit a new (unvisited) node, we set its color based on the edge rule. When we visit a previously visited node, check to see whether its color matches the edge rule. For example, an implementation of coloring a bipartite graph is shown below.
```cpp
//UNTESTED
bool is_bipartite = true;
void dfs(int node)
{
visited[node] = true;
for(int u:adj_list[node])
if(visited[u])
{
if(color[u] == color[node])
is_bipartite = false;
}
else
{
color[u] = !color[node];
dfs(u);
}
}
```

## Cycle Detection
A *cycle* is a non-empty path of distinct edges that start and end at the same node. *Cycle detection* determines properties of cycles in a directed or undirected graph, such as whether each node of the graph is part of a cycle or just checking whether a cycle exists.
A related topic is **strongly connected components**, a platinum level concept.
### Functional Graphs
Links:
- CPH 16.3: successor paths
- CPH 16.4: cycle detection in successor graph
In silver-level directed cycle problems, it is generally the case that each node has exactly one edge going out of it. This is known as a **successor graph** or a **functional graph.**
The following sample code counts the number of cycles in such a graph. The "stack" contains nodes that can reach the current node. If the current node points to a node `v` on the stack (`on_stack[v]` is true), then we know that a cycle has been created. However, if the current node points to a node `v` that has been previously visited but is not on the stack, then we know that the current chain of nodes points into a cycle that has already been considered.
```cpp
//UNTESTED
//Each node points to next_node[node]
bool visited[MAXN], on_stack[MAXN];
int number_of_cycles = 0, next_node[MAXN];
void dfs(int n)
{
visited[n] = on_stack[n] = true;
int u = next_node[n];
if(on_stack[u])
number_of_cycles++;
else if(!visited[u])
dfs(u);
on_stack[n] = false;
}
int main()
{
//read input, etc
for(int i = 1;i <= N;i++)
if(!visited[i])
dfs(i);
}
```
The same general idea is implemented below to find any cycle in a directed graph (if one exists).
```cpp
//UNTESTED
bool visited[MAXN], on_stack[MAXN];
vector<int> adj[MAXN];
vector<int> cycle;
bool dfs(int n)
{
visited[n] = on_stack[n] = true;
for(int u:adj[n])
{
if(on_stack[u])
return cycle.push_back(v), cycle.push_back(u), on_stack[n] = on_stack[u] = false, true;
else if(!visited[u])
{
if(dfs(u))
if(on_stack[n])
return cycle.push_back(n), on_stack[n] = false, true;
else
return false;
if(!cycle.empty())
return false;
}
}
on_stack[n] = false;
return false;
}
int main()
{
//take input, etc
for(int i = 1;cycle.empty() && i <= N;i++)
dfs(i);
if(cycle.empty())
printf("No cycle found!\n");
else
{
reverse(cycle.begin(), cycle.end());
printf("Cycle of length %u found!\n", cycle.size());
for(int n : cycle) printf("%d ", n);
printf("\n");
}
}
```
