Input:
"proof_case_1"
Output:
true
Example 2
Input:
"proof_case_2"
Output:
true
Hints
Hint 1
Consider the properties of a Minimum Spanning Tree (MST) and how they relate to cycle edges.
Hint 2
Recall the Cut Property and Cycle Property of MSTs—how does the heaviest edge in a cycle behave in relation to the MST?
Hint 3
Prove by contradiction: Assume the heaviest edge in a cycle is part of some MST, then derive a contradiction using the Cycle Property.
