Reconstruct Itinerary

Detailed guide and Python implementation for the 'Reconstruct Itinerary' problem.

問題提起

簡単

You are given a list of airline tickets where tickets[i] = [from_i, to_i] represent the departure and the arrival airports of one flight. Reconstruct the itinerary in order and return it.

All of the tickets belong to a man who departs from 'JFK'. Thus, the itinerary must begin with 'JFK'.

If there are multiple valid itineraries, you should return the itinerary that has the smallest lexical order when read as a single string. For example, the itinerary ['JFK', 'LGA'] has a smaller lexical order than ['JFK', 'LGB'].

You may assume all tickets form at least one valid itinerary. You must use all the tickets once and only once.

Write a function findItinerary(tickets: List[List[str]]) -> List[str].

制約
  • 1 <= len(tickets) <= 300
  • tickets[i].length == 2
  • from_i.length == 3
  • to_i.length == 3
  • from_i and to_i consist of uppercase English letters

Example 1
Input
tickets = [["MUC","LHR"],["JFK","MUC"],["SFO","SJC"],["LHR","SFO"]]
Output
["JFK","MUC","LHR","SFO","SJC"]
Explanation

The only valid itinerary is JFK -> MUC -> LHR -> SFO -> SJC.

Example 2
Input
tickets = [["JFK","SFO"],["JFK","ATL"],["SFO","ATL"],["ATL","JFK"],["ATL","SFO"]]
Output
["JFK","ATL","JFK","SFO","ATL","SFO"]
Explanation

Another possible reconstruction is JFK -> SFO -> ATL -> JFK -> ATL -> SFO, but it is larger lexically.

Need a Hint?
Consider using Advanced Graphs-specific data structures like sets or heaps.
Edge Cases to Watch
  • Empty input structures
  • Single element inputs
  • Large numerical bounds
