Problem Description

Connectivity in an undirected graph means that every vertex can reach every other vertex via any path. If the graph is not connected the graph can be broken down into Connected Components.

Strong Connectivity applies only to directed graphs. A directed graph is strongly connected if there is a directed path from any vertex to every other vertex. This is same as connectivity in an undirected graph, the only difference being strong connectivity applies to directed graphs and there should be directed paths instead of just paths. Similar to connected components, a directed graph can be broken down into Strongly Connected Components.
