Count bridges

CodingAlgorithms & data structuresSenior–Staff~30 min

Given a connected or disconnected undirected graph with n nodes (0..n-1) and a list of edges [u, v] (no self-loops; parallel edges may appear), count the number of bridges: edges whose removal increases the number of connected components. Use Tarjan's low-link DFS. Note that a parallel edge between two nodes means neither copy is a bridge. Assume 1 <= n <= 10000.

Implement
count_bridges(n: int, edges: list[list[int]]) → int
Examples
in[5,[[0,1],[1,2],[2,0],[1,3],[3,4]]]out2
What a strong answer looks like

State your approach and its time/space complexity out loud before you optimize. Handle the edge cases (empty input, duplicates, overflow), and say why you chose this over the brute force. Green tests are the floor, not the grade.
