In graph theory, a tree is defined as a graph on N nodes,and (N-1)
un-directed edges such that there are no cycles in the graph.Each node
has a single unique path to every other node.
Let D(u,v) be the number of edges in the unique path from node 'u' to
node 'v' (or from node 'v' to 'u' since the edges are
un-directed).D(u,u) is 0 for all nodes 'u'.
M(u)=MAX(D(u,i):for all nodes i)
The center of a tree is the node (or nodes) 'u',for which M(u) is
minimum among all the nodes in the graph.
You'll be given a graph which has N nodes (1<=N<=20).The nodes are
labeled 1,2,3,..N.You will be provided with N-1 edges in the form of
"a b" pairs where 1<=a,b<=N.No edge will be repeated.You can assume
that the edges are specified such that the graph is a valid tree as
defined above.
Output the node labels of the center(or centers) of the tree.
Sample Input:
6(value of N)
1 3 (edges)
1 4
1 2
2 5
2 6

Sample Output
1
2
Expected:O(N) complexity algo
can anyone plz help me out with O(N) algo?
