Solution: Longest Cycle in a Graph
Explore how to detect and measure the longest cycle in a directed graph with at most one outgoing edge per node. Understand the traversal method that tracks visit order using timestamps to identify cycles and calculate their lengths efficiently without redundant processing.
We'll cover the following...
Statement
You are given a directed graph with n nodes, labeled from 0 to n - 1. Each node in the graph has at most one outgoing edge.
The graph is described using a 0-indexed integer array edges of length n, where:
edges[i]represents a directed edge from nodeito nodeedges[i].If node
ihas no outgoing edge,edges[i] == -1.
Your task is to find longest cycle length in the graph. If no cycle exists, return -1.
Note: A cycle is defined as a path that starts and ends at the same node, following the direction of the edges.
