Given a directed graph, design an algorithm to find out whether there is a route between two nodes using DFS.
var search = function(startNode, endNode){
//visit startNode
console.log("Visting:", startNode.key);
if (startNode.key === endNode.key){
return true;
}
startNode.visit = true;
for(var i = 0; i < startNode.next.length; i++){
if(startNode.next[i].visit === false){
if (search(startNode.next[i], endNode)){
return true;
}
}
}
return false;
}

// var makeNode = function(key, value){

// var node1 = makeNode("7", "grape");
// root.next[2].next.push(node1);
// // should be balanced
// console.log(search(root, node1));
