/**
6+
* Implementation of Hierholzer's Algorithm for finding an Eulerian Path or Circuit
7+
* in a directed graph.
8+
*
9+
* <p>
10+
* An <b>Eulerian Circuit</b> is a path that starts and ends at the same vertex
11+
* and visits every edge exactly once.
12+
* </p>
13+
*
14+
* <p>
15+
* An <b>Eulerian Path</b> visits every edge exactly once but may start and end
16+
* at different vertices.
17+
* </p>
18+
*
19+
* <p>
20+
* <b>Algorithm Summary:</b><br>
21+
* 1. Compute indegree and outdegree for all vertices.<br>
22+
* 2. Check if the graph satisfies Eulerian path or circuit conditions.<br>
23+
* 3. Verify that all vertices with non-zero degree are weakly connected (undirected connectivity).<br>
24+
* 4. Use Hierholzer’s algorithm to build the path by exploring unused edges iteratively.
25+
* </p>
26+
*
27+
* <p>
28+
* <b>Time Complexity:</b> O(E + V).<br>
29+
* <b>Space Complexity:</b> O(V + E).
