Shortest ancestral path.Given a DAG and two vertices v and w, find a shortest ancestral pathbetween v and w. An ancestral path between v and w is a common ancestor x along with a shortest directed path from v to x and a shortest directed path from w to x. A shortest ancestral path is the ancestral path whose total length is minimized. Warmup: Find a DAG where the shortest ancestral path goes to a common ancestor x that is not an LCA. Hint:Run BFS twice, once from v and once from w.
