Given an undirected connected graph consisting of N vertices numbered [0, N-1] and E edges, the task is to count the number of cycles such that any subset of vertices of a cycle does not form another cycle.
Examples: 
 

Input: N = 2, E = 2, edges = [{0, 1}, {1, 0}] 
Output:
Explanation: 
Only one cycle exists between the two vertices. 
 

Input: N = 6, E = 9, edges = [{0, 1}, {1, 2}, {0, 2}, {3, 0}, {3, 2}, {4, 1}, {4, 2}, {5, 1}, {5, 0}] 
Output:
Explanation: 
The possible cycles are shown in the diagram below: 
 

Example 2 Image

Cycles such as 5 -> 0 -> 2 -> 1 -> 5 are not considered as it comprises of inner cycles {5 -> 0 -> 1} and {0 -> 1 -> 2} 
 

Approach: 
Since V vertices require V edges to form 1 cycle, the number of cycles in a connected graph can be expressed using the formula: 
 

(Edges - Vertices) + 1

Illustration: 
 

N = 6, E = 9, edges = [{0, 1}, {1, 2}, {0, 2}, {3, 0}, {3, 2}, {4, 1}, {4, 2}, {5, 1}, {5, 0}] 
Number of Cycles = 9 – 6 + 1 = 4 
The 4 cycles in the graph are: 
{5, 0, 1}, {0, 1, 2}, {3, 0, 2} and {1, 2, 4} 
 

This formula also covers the case when a single vertex may have a self-loop. 
Below is the implementation of the above approach: 
 

C++




// C++ implementation for the
// above approach.
 
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to return the
// count of required cycles
int numberOfCycles(int N, int E,
                   int edges[][2])
{
    vector<int> graph[N];
    for (int i = 0; i < E; i++) {
        graph[edges[i][0]]
            .push_back(edges[i][1]);
        graph[edges[i][1]]
            .push_back(edges[i][0]);
    }
 
    // Return the number of cycles
    return (E - N) + 1;
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    int N = 6;
    int E = 9;
    int edges[][2] = { { 0, 1 },
