1615. Maximal Network Rank

Problem Statement

There is an infrastructure of n cities with some number of roads connecting these cities. Each roads[i] = [ai, bi] indicates that there is a bidirectional road between cities ai and bi.

The network rank of two different cities is defined as the total number of directly connected roads to either city. If a road is directly connected to both cities, it is only counted once.

The maximal network rank of the infrastructure is the maximum network rank of all pairs of different cities.

Given the integer n and the array roads, return the maximal network rank of the entire infrastructure.

Example 1:

Input: n = 4, roads = [[0,1],[0,3],[1,2],[1,3]]
Output: 4
Explanation: The network rank of cities 0 and 1 is 4 as there are 4 roads that are connected to either 0 or 1. The road between 0 and 1 is only counted once.

Example 2:

Input: n = 5, roads = [[0,1],[0,3],[1,2],[1,3],[2,3],[2,4]]
Output: 5
Explanation: There are 5 roads that are connected to cities 1 or 2.

Example 3:

Input: n = 8, roads = [[0,1],[1,2],[2,3],[2,4],[5,6],[5,7]]
Output: 5
Explanation: The network rank of 2 and 5 is 5. Notice that all the cities do not have to be connected.

Constraints:

2 <= n <= 100
0 <= roads.length <= n * (n - 1) / 2
roads[i].length == 2
0 <= ai, bi <= n-1
ai != bi
Each pair of cities has at most one road connecting them.

Intuition

Find out degree of all nodes and then 
For all pairs check for all pairs the max value

Approach 1:

Degree and Exhaustive

C++

class Solution {
public:
    int maximalNetworkRank(int n, vector<vector<int>>& roads) {
        map<vector<int>, int> mp;
        vector<int> deg(n,0);
        int maxi = INT_MIN;

        for(auto &it: roads){
            mp[it] = 1;
            deg[it[0]]++;
            deg[it[1]]++;
        }

        for(int i=0; i<n; i++){
            for(int j=i+1; j<n; j++){
                auto check_1 = {i,j};
                auto check_2 = {j,i};
                int temp = deg[i] + deg[j];

                if(mp.find(check_1) != mp.end() or mp.find(check_2) != mp.end())
                    temp--;

                maxi = max(maxi , temp);
            }
        }

        return maxi;
    }
};
