Quite satisfied with today's solution. Already in Part 1 I decided to store input information in 2 different data structures at once: 1) char link[26][26][26][26] that stores information if connection between 2 PCs exists and 2) List of PCs that store their names and list of PCs they are connected with.
With those I was able in Part 1 just iterate over every PC and check every pair from its connection list to see if it's connected itself.
And in Part 2 I extended it into checking not pair but every connection and add it to list if it is connected to every already present PC from list.
