Graphs pattern

Redundant Connection

A tree of n nodes had one extra edge added, creating exactly one cycle. Given the edges in input order, return the edge that can be removed so the result is again a tree, the last edge (in input order) that closes a cycle. Watch it run step by step, then write your own pseudocode and get it checked by AI.
