Given n nodes (labeled from 0 to n-1) and a list of undirected edges, determine if these edges form a valid tree.

A valid tree must:

Be connected (all nodes can be reached)
Have no cycles
Have exactly n-1 edges

Constraints:

1 ≤ n ≤ 100
0 ≤ edges.length ≤ n * (n-1) / 2
No duplicate edges
Edges are undirected ([0,1] is same as [1,0])

Examples:

// Example 1:
const n1 = 5;
const edges1 = [
  [0, 1],
  [0, 2],
  [0, 3],
  [1, 4],
];
console.log(validTree(n1, edges1));
// Output: true
// Explanation: Forms a valid tree with 4 edges and 5 nodes

// Example 2:
const n2 = 5;
const edges2 = [
  [0, 1],
  [1, 2],
  [2, 3],
  [1, 3],
  [1, 4],
];
console.log(validTree(n2, edges2));
// Output: false
// Explanation: Contains a cycle between nodes 1-2-3
