thanks, it worked for me too
This is the error I found in mine. Fixing it got me to 100%. I was failing on âMore complex hierarchyâ prior to this test case.

Hi all, I fail on âMore complex hierarchyâ and âSimple hierarchy in-depthâ and I donât understand why⌠I tried a lot of test :

all of this pass and a donât know why⌠I tried in php and swift⌠thanks !
I, like many of you am having trouble with More Complex Hierarchy, but I think I may have found the problem with my algorithm even though I havenât gotten the solution yet. Consider the following two sets of influencer,influenced pairs:
SET 1
1,2
2,3
2,4
3,4
4,5
SET 2
1,2
2,3
2,4
4,3
3,5
They might look different, but if you draw both of the graphs out with nodes represented as circles with the node label inside of them and the one-way connections from influencer to influenced represented as arrows, you can see that the two sets of data describe IDENTICAL graphs. The only difference between them is which node has the label â3â and which node has the label â4â. In terms of the nodes themselves and whatâs connected to what, theyâre topographically the same.
I found that my algorithm treats the two differently in that the order in which it visits the nodes matters and it was only able to try one path from node 2. Basically, with one way of labeling the 3 and 4 nodes, my algorithm would return the proper answer, but if you flipped the labels, it wouldnât ever consider the longer path.
Itâs almost certain thatâs the problem with my code and maybe this will give some of you guys the insight to what might be wrong with your code. If youâre having problems with the complex hierarchy test, does your code treat the two datasets above equally?

Revamped my algorithm and what I mentioned above was EXACTLY what was wrong.
Iâm disappointed that the calls for an extra test case or two went unanswered. Based on the latest post, Iâll try completely revamping my algorithm and see what I can do. It is frustrating that the âmore complex caseâ is the only one giving me trouble and there is no indication of what that trouble might be. An extra test case that demonstrates this âcomplexityâ would be greatly appreciated.

I also had a problem with the âMore complex hierarchyâ test case. After I solved the puzzle in a different way my solution passes 100% of test cases. It is possible that my first solution is incorrect but I think the problem was in low performance. (I use JavaScript)
Thanks for taking the time to post this reply (even though it was a few years ago now). It was a great help and forced me to rethink my algorithm. Having said that, it should not be up to fellow codingamers to point out things like this.
My passing algorithm treats both of those sets identically (depth = 5).
This is what helped me get the correct algorithm.
One of my other issues was confusing depth first SEARCHING with depth first TRAVERSAL. My code was a fair bit cleaner with the traversal (though it could stand some optimization).

Hi everyone !
Can you give me others tests, because i can t solve the 8th test, and i have already tried of your test.
it s so frustrating ! All my test passed and i can t understand why the 8th didn t pass âŚ

I have the same issue. The code works fine for all the testcases except the 8th in submit. It also returns the correct value for the other testcases were posted in this discussion. It still can be the algorythm needs some optimization, but i dont see what. So its 90% submitted, but cant go on with the solution, cause i havent found any cases which it would fail. Or maybe its just a timeout?
EDIT: Just solved it, my solution is differs from the usual approach in the basics, so its hard to tell without details what i did wrong. I used python and a list of lists which stored the possible successions. My code passed when i optimized it to not to be redundant. I hope this is not a big hint, but still helps! Good luck!
I wondering why you are supposed to use depth first search in comparison to breath-first search?
For anyone who wants more samplesâŚ

According to my calculation the answer is 6 in the Giant Shoulder exercise.
Same issue still. PYTHON3 solved to 90%. Only the More complex hierarchy fails. Has anyone teased out what exactly this test is checking for?
I created an array of nodes and recursively walked the graphs checking for shorter walks to each node, while accounting for multiple roots and disconnected trees.
These were my test cases:
3, [[1, 2], [1, 3], [3, 4]]
8, [[1, 2], [1, 3], [3, 4], [2, 4], [2, 5], [10, 11], [10, 1], [10, 3]]
4, [[2, 3], [8, 9], [1, 2], [6, 3]]
4, [[1,2],[2,3],[1,3],[4,5]]
I would be open to more test cases that I can throw at my algorithm, if anyone can suggest some.
[Edit] OH! I didnât see these bottom posts. Will try some of their data sets.
[Edit 2] OK! Passed. For the record, if you have this problem you could be over thinking it like I was. You are simply looking for the longest POSSIBLE path, not the longest path that has no other shorter variant. I chopped out a few logic gates and bingo!

I get 6 but I fail More Complex Hierarchy still.
Yes, your 2nd test case found my problem. This should be added to the IDE tests. I removed the check for not revisiting a node as it looks like the check is not necessary here. The problem statement should say that cycles donât exist so people donât go crazy trying to figure out why one test doesnât work.
Itâs actually written in the statement:
Note: It takes time for a thought to influence others. So, we will suppose that it is not possible to have a mutual influence between people, i.e. If A influences B (even indirectly through other people), then B will not influence A (even indirectly). Also, you can not influence yourself.

Hinted by some past posts, I tweeked my code to find the longest distance to the farthest node instead of finding the shortest distances. Now I get 100%.
I would say, add some tests related to that! This is so confusing!
