All the paths between 2 nodes in a graph
I have a graph with not directed and which have cycles.
I need to find all the paths between 2 given nodes.
I've been able to write the code to find one path using BFS algorithm, but I can' modify it to make it return a list of all the paths.
This is my graph class
Code :
//unuseful methods omitted to shorten the code
public class Graph<V,E> {
HashMap<Vertex<V>, List<Edge<V,E>>> graph;
public Graph() {
graph = new HashMap<Vertex<V>, List<Edge<V,E>>>();
}
/**
* @return true if 2 nodes are adjacent
*/
public boolean areAdjacent(Vertex<V> source, Vertex<V> destination)
/**
* @return all the edges in the graph
*/
public Collection<Edge<V,E>> edges()
/**
* @return edge between 2 vertices
*/
public Edge<V,E> getEdge(Vertex<V> source, Vertex<V> destination)
/**
* @return edges outgoing from source
*/
public Collection<Edge<V,E>> outEdges(Vertex<V> source)
/**
* @return vertices reachable from source
*/
public Collection<Vertex<V>> outVertices(Vertex<V> source)
/**
* @return all the vertices in the graph
*/
public Collection<Vertex<V>> vertices()
}
This is the BFS function
Code :
public static List<Vertex<String>> bfs(Graph<String,Integer> g, Vertex<String> source, Vertex<String> destination) {
Queue<Vertex<String>> queue = new ArrayDeque<Vertex<String>>();
HashSet<Vertex<String>> marked = new HashSet<Vertex<String>>();
List<Vertex<String>> path = new ArrayList<Vertex<String>>(); //will contain the vertices in the path found
queue.add(source);
marked.add(source);
while(!queue.isEmpty()) {
Vertex<String> u = queue.remove();
path.add(u);
if(u.equals(destination)) { break; }
for(Vertex<String> v : g.outVertices(u)) {
if(!marked.contains(v)) {
queue.add(v);
marked.add(v);
}
}
}
return path;
}
It returns the list of vertices conteined in the first path found.
How do I have to modify the BFS function to make it find all the paths between the 2 given vertices and return a list of all those paths?

And that's another forum, what's the problem?
Crossposting is inside the same forum not between different.
I think everybody is free to ask the same question to different persons, isn't it?
I fyou have something else to tell me, plese send me a private message, so that the thread will not go OT.
Thank you.

I was telling the other volunteers about the other posts so they don't waste time answering questions that have already been answered.

Thanks to have heard to my request to reply by private message...
By the way I've solved by myself.

That is what you are supposed to do.
Did you post that on the other forums so volunteers there know the problem is solved?
