Hi guys, Why my implementation to problem https://codeforces.net/contest/1278/problem/D gives MLE, First I though it is because of recursive DFS. But even after changing DFS to iterative it is still giving MLE. Can anyone please help me with it. My solution links

It might be because of too large amount of edges in graph. Tree with n vertexes has n-1 edges, so you can check that excession easily.
Thank you Added check for edges and it does the trick
In the worst case, you might end up inserting $$$O(n^2)$$$ edges. So, one idea is to terminate immediately once you find that the no. of edges have become $$$\ge n$$$, since a tree has only $$$(n-1)$$$ edges.
Thank you, yes I forgot that
