Python connected components

Question

I\'m writing a function get_connected_components for a class Graph:

def get_connected_components(self):
    path=[]
    for i in se         


        

Answer 1

Let's simplify the graph representation:

myGraph = {0: [1,2,3], 1: [], 2: [1], 3: [4,5],4: [3,5], 5: [3,4,7], 6: [8], 7: [],8: [9], 9: []}

Here we have the function returning a dictionary whose keys are the roots and whose values are the connected components:

def getRoots(aNeigh):
    def findRoot(aNode,aRoot):
        while aNode != aRoot[aNode][0]:
            aNode = aRoot[aNode][0]
        return (aNode,aRoot[aNode][1])
    myRoot = {} 
    for myNode in aNeigh.keys():
        myRoot[myNode] = (myNode,0)  
    for myI in aNeigh: 
        for myJ in aNeigh[myI]: 
            (myRoot_myI,myDepthMyI) = findRoot(myI,myRoot) 
            (myRoot_myJ,myDepthMyJ) = findRoot(myJ,myRoot) 
            if myRoot_myI != myRoot_myJ: 
                myMin = myRoot_myI
                myMax = myRoot_myJ 
                if  myDepthMyI > myDepthMyJ: 
                    myMin = myRoot_myJ
                    myMax = myRoot_myI
                myRoot[myMax] = (myMax,max(myRoot[myMin][1]+1,myRoot[myMax][1]))
                myRoot[myMin] = (myRoot[myMax][0],-1) 
    myToRet = {}
    for myI in aNeigh: 
        if myRoot[myI][0] == myI:
            myToRet[myI] = []
    for myI in aNeigh: 
        myToRet[findRoot(myI,myRoot)[0]].append(myI) 
    return myToRet  

Let's try it:

print getRoots(myGraph)

{8: [6, 8, 9], 1: [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7]}
