Good morning! Here's our prompt for today.

Question

Given a graph, can you use two colors to color each node of the graph, such that no two adjacent nodes have the same color?

The Problem

The graph coloring problem is a well-known problem in computer science. It requires coloring different nodes of the graph so that two adjacent nodes do not have the same color.

In this challenge, we'll look at a special case of this problem, where we'll determine if two colors suffice for graph coloring or not. The 2 coloring problem is also equivalent to creating a partition of a set of elements, so that two connected elements are in two different partitions.

Try to solve this here or in Interactive Mode.

How do I practice this challenge?

xxxxxxxxxx

  assert.equal(twoColorGraph(N, dislikes), false);

var assert = require('assert');

​

var twoColorGraph = function (N, d) {

  //your code here

};

​

try {

  N = 4;

  dislikes = [

    [0, 1, 0, 1],

    [1, 0, 1, 0],

    [0, 1, 0, 1],

    [1, 0, 1, 0],

  ];

  assert.equal(twoColorGraph(N, dislikes), true);

​

  console.log('PASSED: ' + 'First Test');

} catch (err) {

  console.log(err);

}

​

try {

  N = 4;

  dislikes = [

    [0, 1, 1, 1],

    [1, 0, 0, 0],

    [0, 1, 0, 1],

    [1, 0, 1, 0],

  ];

We'll now take you through what you need to know.
