Challenge 6: Check if a Path Exists Between Two Vertices

Given a graph and two vertices, can you write a code to check if a path exists between the two vertices?

Problem statement

You have to implement the bool checkPath(Graph g, int source, int destination) function. It takes a source and a destination and tells you whether or not a path exists between the two (from the source to the destination).

If there is no repeated sequence of edges and vertices between the source and the destination vertex, then the path exists between these two vertices.

Note: Path will always exist if the source and destination nodes are the same.

Input

The input is a graph, a source value, and a destination value.

Output

It returns true if a path exists from the source to the destination.

Sample input

graph = {
		0 -> 2
    0 -> 5
    2 -> 3
    2 -> 4
    5 -> 3
    5 -> 6
    3 -> 6
    6 -> 7
    6 -> 8
    6 -> 4
    7 -> 8
}

source = 0
destination = 7

Sample output

true
