# Reconstruct Itinerary

**Medium**

Given a list of airline tickets represented by pairs of departure and arrival airports`[from, to]`, reconstruct the itinerary in order. All of the tickets belong to a man who departs from`JFK`. Thus, the itinerary must begin with`JFK`.

**Note:**

1. 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"]`

   .
2. All airports are represented by three capital letters (IATA code).
3. You may assume all tickets form at least one valid itinerary.

**Example 1:**

```
Input: 
[["MUC", "LHR"], ["JFK", "MUC"], ["SFO", "SJC"], ["LHR", "SFO"]]
Output: 
["JFK", "MUC", "LHR", "SFO", "SJC"]
```

**Example 2:**

```
Input: [["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 in lexical order.
```

## Analysis

By @Grandyang Source: <http://www.cnblogs.com/grandyang/p/5183210.html>

给一堆飞机票，从中建立一个行程单，如果有多种方法，取其中字母顺序小的那种方法。

本质是**有向图的遍历**问题，而且本题是关于有向图的边的遍历。

每张机票都是有向图的一条边，我们需要找出一条经过所有边的路径，那么DFS不是我们的不二选择。

**步骤**：

* 首先把图建立起来，通过邻接链表edge list来建立。但由于题目要求解法按字母顺序小的，这个list可以使用**PriorityQueue**来自动对存入的节点进行排序。所以edge list 的实现可以是 `HashMap<String, PriorityQueue<String>> flights;`
* 然后从节点 `"JFK"`开始DFS遍历，只要当前节点映射的PriorityQueue里有节点，我们取出这个节点，将其在PriorityQueue里删掉，然后继续**递归遍历**这个节点，由于题目中限定了一定会有解，那么等图中所有的PriorityQueue中都没有节点的时候，我们把当前节点存入结果中，然后再一层层回溯回去，将当前节点都存入结果，那么最后我们结果中存的顺序和我们需要的相反的。因此也可以在存入结果时，就存入头部（反向插入）: `path.addFirst(departure);`

此外还可以用stack来实现迭代的解法。

其实这里的DFS也是来头不简单：**欧拉回路Eulerian Path，Hierholzer算法**

> **Definition**: In graph theory, an Eulerian trail (or Eulerian path) is a trial in a finite graph which visits every edge exactly once.

在这里就是每张机票用一次并且全部用掉

**一个有向图中存在欧拉路径，iff:**

* 图是连通的，即图上任意二点总有路径连接
* 满足下面两个条件中的一个：
  * 有且只有一个点的入度比出度少1（作为欧拉路径的起点），有且只有一个点的入度比出度多1（作为终点），且其余点入度 = 出度。
  * 所有点入度 = 出度

**已知图中存在欧拉路径，找到一个欧拉路径：**

1. Fleury 算法
2. Hierholzer 算法

**Hierholzer 算法**

```
path = []

DFS(u):
    while (u has unvisited edge e(u,v))
        mark edge e(u, v) as visited
        DFS(v)
    end
    path.pushLeft(u)
```

回到这个问题，假设n是tickets的数量，那么**复杂度**：

Time：建图：O(n + nlogn), Hierholzer: O(n); Total : O(n + nlogn + n)

Space: O(n)

## Solution

### DFS + HashMap + Priority Queue : DFS递归有向图遍历 （7 ms, faster than 71.94%）

```java
public class Solution {

    Map<String, PriorityQueue<String>> flights;
    LinkedList<String> path;

    public List<String> findItinerary(String[][] tickets) {
        flights = new HashMap<>();
        path = new LinkedList<>();
        for (String[] ticket : tickets) {
            flights.putIfAbsent(ticket[0], new PriorityQueue<>());
            flights.get(ticket[0]).add(ticket[1]);
        }
        dfs("JFK");
        return path;
    }

    public void dfs(String departure) {
        PriorityQueue<String> arrivals = flights.get(departure);
        while (arrivals != null && !arrivals.isEmpty())
            dfs(arrivals.poll());
        path.addFirst(departure);
    }
}
```

Another implementation with DFS + HashMap + MinHeap (PriorityQueue)

```java
public class Solution {
    public List<String> findItinerary(String[][] tickets) {
        LinkedList<String> list = new LinkedList<>();

        HashMap<String, PriorityQueue<String>> map = new HashMap<>();
        for(String[] ticket : tickets){
            if(!map.containsKey(ticket[0])) map.put(ticket[0], new PriorityQueue<String>());

            map.get(ticket[0]).add(ticket[1]);
        }

        dfs(list, "JFK", map);

        return new ArrayList<String>(list);
    }

    private void dfs(LinkedList<String> list, String airport, HashMap<String, PriorityQueue<String>> map){
        while(map.containsKey(airport) && !map.get(airport).isEmpty()){
            dfs(list, map.get(airport).poll(), map);
        }
        list.offerFirst(airport);
    }
}
```

后话：

这题用DFS的代码，跟Topological Sorting的DFS代码几乎一模一样；也从侧面说明了这道题其实也包含了拓扑排序的内核。
