Table: Friendship
+-------------+------+ | Column Name | Type | +-------------+------+ | user1_id | int | | user2_id | int | +-------------+------+ (user1_id, user2_id) is the primary key (combination of columns with unique values) for this table. Each row of this table indicates that the users user1_id and user2_id are friends. Note that user1_id < user2_id.
A friendship between a pair of friends x
and y
is strong if x
and y
have at least three common friends.
Write a solution to find all the strong friendships.
Note that the result table should not contain duplicates with user1_id < user2_id
.
Return the result table in any order.
The result format is in the following example.
Example 1:
Input: Friendship table: +----------+----------+ | user1_id | user2_id | +----------+----------+ | 1 | 2 | | 1 | 3 | | 2 | 3 | | 1 | 4 | | 2 | 4 | | 1 | 5 | | 2 | 5 | | 1 | 7 | | 3 | 7 | | 1 | 6 | | 3 | 6 | | 2 | 6 | +----------+----------+ Output: +----------+----------+---------------+ | user1_id | user2_id | common_friend | +----------+----------+---------------+ | 1 | 2 | 4 | | 1 | 3 | 3 | +----------+----------+---------------+ Explanation: Users 1 and 2 have 4 common friends (3, 4, 5, and 6). Users 1 and 3 have 3 common friends (2, 6, and 7). We did not include the friendship of users 2 and 3 because they only have two common friends (1 and 6).
