684. Redundant Connection
Medium
In this problem, a tree is an undirected graph that is connected and has no cycles.
You are given a graph that started as a tree with
n
nodes labeled from 1
to n
, with one additional edge added. The added edge has two different vertices chosen from 1
to n
, and was not an edge that already existed. The graph is represented as an array edges
of length n
where edges[i] = [ai, bi]
indicates that there is an edge between nodes ai
and bi
in the graph.Return an edge that can be removed so that the resulting graph is a tree of
n
nodes. If there are multiple answers, return the answer that occurs last in the input.Example 1:

Input: edges = [[1,2],[1,3],[2,3]]
Output:
[2,3]
Example 2:

Input: edges = [[1,2],[2,3],[3,4],[1,4],[1,5]]
Output:
[1,4]
Constraints:
n == edges.length
3 <= n <= 1000
edges[i].length == 2
1 <= ai < bi <= edges.length
ai != bi
- There are no repeated edges.
- The given graph is connected.
