How can I check if the adjacency matrix doesn't contain cycle or loop?

AhmedYousry20 asked:

Open original thread
I asked the user to enter adjacency matrix and i tried to check by the following code, but sometimes it gives me "Graph is not a tree" whatever the input was and sometimes it turns to an infinite loop and shows "enter number of nodes" forever

What I have tried:

C++
#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>
using namespace std;
int v;
bool isCycle(int u, bool visited[], int parent) {
    int **A;
    cout<< "Enter number of nodes \n";
   cin>>v;

   A=(int**)malloc(v*sizeof(int*));
   if(A==NULL)
   {
       cout<<"Out of memory";
       return 1;
   }

   for(int i=0;i<v;i++)
   {
       A[i]=(int*)malloc(v*sizeof(int));
    if(A[i]==NULL)
    {
       cout<<"Out of memory";
       return 1;
    }
   }
   cout<<"NOTE that your Adjacency Matrix contains ZEROs and ONEs ONLY \n";

   cout<<"Enter your Adjacency Matrix \n";

   for(int i=0;i<v;i++)     //Fill Matrix
   {
        for(int j=0;j<v;j++)
        {
        cin>>A[i][j];
        }
   }

   visited[u] = true;    //mark v as visited
   for(int b = 0; b<v; b++) {
      if(A[u][b]) {
         if(!visited[b]) {     //when the adjacent node v is not visited
            if(isCycle(b, visited, u)) {
               return true;
            }
         } else if(b != parent) {    //when adjacent vertex is visited but not parent
            return true;    //there is a cycle
         }
      }
   }
   return false;
}
bool isTree() {
   bool *vis = new bool[v];

   for(int i = 0; i<v; i++)
      vis[i] = false;    //initialize as no node is visited

   if(isCycle(0, vis, -1))    //check if there is a cycle or not
      return false;

   for(int i = 0; i<v; i++) {
      if(!vis[i])    //if there is a node, not visited by traversal, graph is not connected
         return false;
   }
   return true;
}

int main() {
   if(isTree())
      cout << "The Graph is a Tree.";
   else
      cout << "The Graph is not a Tree.";
}
