What It Looks Like
Recognition signals — when you see these, think of this structure:
- 1Matching problems (students to projects, etc.)
- 2Two distinct groups with connections between them
- 3Questions about whether a graph can be 2-colored
🎯
What It Really Tests
The core mathematical idea behind this structure:
A graph whose vertices can be divided into two sets with no edges within the same set.
顶点可以分为两组，同组内没有边的图。

Why Students Get Stuck
Common mistakes to watch out for:
- ⚠Not recognizing the two-set structure
- ⚠Missing that odd cycles prevent bipartiteness
- ⚠Confusing with other graph types
💡
Your First Step
How to begin thinking about problems with this structure:
Try to 2-color the graph: if possible, it's bipartite. If not, it has an odd cycle.
尝试用2种颜色给图着色：如果可以，就是二部图。如果不行，有奇数环。
