Clone a Directed Graph
Understand how to clone a directed graph by performing a depth-first traversal to create a deep copy of each node. Learn to use hash tables to handle cycles and avoid revisiting nodes, ensuring the cloned graph matches the original in structure. This lesson helps you implement efficient graph cloning with linear time and space complexity.

Statement
Given the root node of a directed graph, clone this graph by creating its deep copy, such that the cloned graph has the same vertices and edges as the original graph.
Example
Let’s look at the graphs below as an example. If the input graph is where is a set of vertices and is a set of edges, then the output graph (the cloned graph) is ...
