Great implementation of Dinic's Algorithm for Maximum Flow! The algorithm is correctly implemented and the comments explain the approach well.
Feedback:
- The algorithm correctly uses BFS to build level graphs and DFS to find blocking flows
- Time complexity O(V^2 * E) is optimal for dense graphs
- Code structure is clean and follows the project conventions
Minor suggestions:
- Consider adding more detailed docstrings with parameter descriptions
- Add type hints for better code clarity
- Include complexity analysis in the docstring
Overall, this is a solid contribution that adds value to the algorithms collection.

Thanks again for the review!
I've just pushed the updates based on your feedback:
- Added detailed
ArgsandReturnssections to docstrings. - Updated type hints to be more specific (e.g.,
list[int]). - Added time complexity analysis to the
max_flowdocstring.
Please let me know if there's anything else needed! 🚀

In the context of graph algorithms, n is the standard convention for representing the number of vertices, similar to how i is used in loops. It is widely understood in this domain and changing it might actually reduce readability for those familiar with the algorithm.

Regarding parameters u and v: These are universally recognized standard notations for the start and end nodes of an edge in graph theory.
Regarding the doctest: This is a helper method. Its functionality is implicitly and fully verified by the comprehensive doctests in the max_flow method, which relies on add_edge to construct the graph correctly.

This bfs function is an internal component of the Dinic algorithm. I have included comprehensive doctests in the main max_flow function. If those tests pass, it proves that the internal components (like bfs) are functioning correctly.

Similar to bfs, this dfs function is an internal helper verified integrally by the max_flow doctests. u is the standard notation for the current node being visited in graph traversal algorithms.
