The problem

There is an undirected tree with n nodes labeled from 0 to n - 1 and n - 1 edges. You are given a 2D integer array edges of length n - 1 where edges[i] = [ai, bi] indicates that there is an edge between nodes ai and bi in the tree.

Example

Input
n = 7, edges = [[0,1],[1,2],[3,1],[4,0],[0,5],[5,6]], restricted = [4,5]
Output
4
Explanation
The diagram above shows the tree.

Python solution

Python
class Solution:
    def reachableNodes(
        self, n: int, edges: List[List[int]], restricted: List[int]
    ) -> int:
        def dfs(i: int) -> int:
            vis.add(i)
            return 1 + sum(j not in vis and dfs(j) for j in g[i])

        g = defaultdict(list)
        for a, b in edges:
            g[a].append(b)
            g[b].append(a)
        vis = set(restricted)
        return dfs(0)
