Solution: Longest Cycle in a Graph

Understand how to identify the longest cycle in a directed graph where each node has at most one outgoing edge. Explore a traversal method that tracks node visits and detects cycles by comparing step counts. Learn how this approach ensures efficient time and space complexity for processing large graphs.

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 node i to node edges[i]. ...
