Find the nearest clone
Problem Statement :
In this challenge, there is a connected undirected graph where each of the nodes is a color. Given a color, find the shortest path connecting any two nodes of that color. Each edge has a weight of . If there is not a pair or if the color is not found, print -1. Function Description Complete the findShortest function in the editor below. It should return an integer representing the length of the shortest path between two nodes of the same color, or -1 if it is not possible. findShortest has the following parameter(s): g_nodes: an integer, the number of nodes g_from: an array of integers, the start nodes for each edge g_to: an array of integers, the end nodes for each edge ids: an array of integers, the color id per node val: an integer, the id of the color to match Input Format The first line contains two space-separated integers n and m, the number of nodes and edges in the graph. Each of the next m lines contains two space-separated integers g_from[ i ] and g_to[ i ] , the nodes connected by an edge. The next line contains n space-seperated integers, ids[ i ], representing the color id of each node from 1 to n. The last line contains the id of the color to analyze. Note: The nodes are indexed from 1 to n. Constraints 1 <= n <= 10^6 1 <= m <= 10^6 1 <= ids[ i ] <= 10^8 Output Format Print the single integer representing the smallest path length or -1.

The median of a set of integers is the midpoint value of the data set for which an equal number of integers are less than and greater than the value. To find the median, you must first sort your set of integers in non-decreasing order, then: If your set contains an odd number of elements, the median is the middle element of the sorted sample. In the sorted set { 1, 2, 3 } , 2 is the median.
