All Paths from Source to Target

Problem

Given a directed acyclic graph (DAG) of n nodes labeled from 0 to n - 1, find all possible paths from node 0 to node n - 1 and return them in any order.

The graph is given as follows: graph[i] is a list of all nodes you can visit from node i (i.e., there is a directed edge from node i to node graph[i][j]).

Example 1:

Input: graph = [[1,2],[3],[3],[]] Output: [[0,1,3],[0,2,3]] Explanation: There are two paths: 0 -> 1 -> 3 and 0 -> 2 -> 3.

Example 2:

Input: graph = [[4,3,1],[3,2,4],[3],[4],[]] Output: [[0,4],[0,3,4],[0,1,3,4],[0,1,2,3,4],[0,1,4]]

Constraints:

  • n == graph.length
  • 2 <= n <= 15
  • 0 <= graph[i][j] < n
  • graph[i][j] != i (i.e., there will be no self-loops).
  • All the elements of graph[i] are unique.
  • The input graph is guaranteed to be a DAG.

Solution

class Solution {
    public List<List<Integer>> allPathsSourceTarget(int[][] graph) {
        var ans = new ArrayList<List<Integer>>();
        solve(graph, List.of(0), ans);
        return ans;
    }

    public void solve(int[][] graph, List<Integer> curr, List<List<Integer>> ans) {
        var n = curr.get(curr.size() - 1);
        if (n == graph.length - 1) {
            ans.add(curr);
            return;
        }

        for (var e : graph[n]) {
            var l = new ArrayList<>(curr);
            l.add(e);
            solve(graph, l, ans);
        }
    }
}

Redesigning my microkernel from the ground up

As you may recall, circa 2022-2023 I was working on a microkernel written in Hare named Helios. Helios was largely inspired by and modelled after the design of seL4 and was my first major foray into modern OS development that was serious enough to get to a somewhat useful state of functionality, wit...
