The problem provides an undirected connected graph. It is necessary to check whether it contains a cycle (which can be turned into a Formula-0 track).

An undirected graph contains a cycle if there is a back edge, i.e., an edge leading to a vertex that is already visited.

Example

The graphs given in the example are as follows:

The first graph contains a cycle, while the second does not.

Algorithm realization

The graph is stored in the adjacency matrix $g$. The array used is used to mark the visited vertices.

#define MAX 1010
int g[MAX][MAX], used[MAX];

The dfs function implements depth-first search from vertex $v$. It is necessary to exclude the case when we move from $v$ to its ancestor: the ancestor is already visited, but there is no cycle. To handle this, we will introduce a second parameter $p$ in the dfs function, representing the ancestor of vertex $v$.

void dfs(int v, int p = -1)
{

Mark vertex $v$ as visited.

  used[v] = 1;

Iterate over the vertices $i$ that can be reached from $v$.

  for (int i = 1; i <= n; i++)
  {

Consider all edges except for the one that leads to the ancestor $p$.

    if (i == p) continue;

If there is an edge from $v$ to $i$, and $i$ is already visited ($used[i]=1$), then the graph contains a cycle. Set $flag=1$.

    if (g[v][i] == 1)
    {
      if (used[i] == 1) flag = 1;

Otherwise, continue the depth-first search from vertex $i$.

      else dfs(i, v);
    }
  }
}

The main part of the program. Read the input data.

scanf("%d %d",&n,&m);
memset(g,0,sizeof(g));
memset(used,0,sizeof(used));

Read the input undirected graph. The graph is stored in an adjacency matrix, so repeated roads will be counted only once.

for (i = 0; i < m; i++)
{
  scanf("%d %d",&u,&v);  
  g[u][v] = g[v][u] = 1;
}

Set $flag=0$, which indicates the absence of a cycle in the graph. If a cycle is found, the value of $flag$ will change to $1$.

flag = 0;

Initiate depth-first search from vertex $1$ (according to the problem statement, the graph is connected).

dfs(1);

Based on the value of $flag$, print the result.

if (flag) printf("YES\n");
else printf("NO\n");
