Cycle Detection

Using DFS

bool hasCycle(int node, vector<bool> &visited, vector<bool> &dfsVisited, 
              vector<int> adjList[]) {
    visited[node] = dfsVisited[node] = true;
    
    for(int neighbour: adjList[node]) 
        if(!visited[neighbour]) {
            if(hasCycle(neighbour, visited, dfsVisited, adjList))
                return true;
        } else if(dfsVisited[neighbour])
            return true;
            
    dfsVisited[node] = false;
    return false;
}

int Solution::solve(int A, vector<int> &B, vector<int> &C) {
    // cycle detection in a directed graph
    
    // * Create adjList
    vector<int> adjList[A + 1];
    
    for(int i = 0; i < B.size(); i++) 
        adjList[B[i]].push_back(C[i]);
        
    
    // * Data Strucutres requred for cycle detection through DFS
    vector<bool> visited(A + 1);
    vector<bool> dfsVisited(A + 1);
    
    // * for each component, call dfs
    for(int node = 1; node <= A; node++)
        if(!visited[node])
            if(hasCycle(node, visited, dfsVisited, adjList))
                return false; // if cyclic then course can't be taken
                
    return true;
    // if acyclic then coures can be taken
}
