I am going a bit crazy at this point trying to determine the source of an infinite loop (getting a stackoverflow error). I am trying to implement a modified DFS to detect cycles in a graph. I am working off of this example on page 11: http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~kamil/teaching/sp03/041403.pdf
In this implementation, 0 = WHITE, 1 = GRAY, and 2 = BLACK. I am hoping that I am missing something relatively simple.
public boolean containsCycle()
{
for (int i=0; i<n; i++)
marks[i] = 0; // Initialize all to zero - unvisited
for (int i=0; i<n; i++) { // n = number of vertices in the graph
if (marks[i]==0) {
if (visit(i)){
return true;
}
}
}
return false;
}
public boolean visit(int index){
marks[index] = 1; // Visited
for (int i=0; i<n; i++){
if(isArc(index,i)){ // isArc() returns true IFF there is a directed edge from index->
if (marks[i]==1)
return true;
}
else if (marks[i]==0) {
if(visit(marks[i]))
return true;
}
}
marks[index] = 2;
return false;
}
Seems it should be else if (visit(i))
instead of else if (visit(marks[i]))
