A zero-indexed array A consisting of N different integers is given. The array contains all integers in the range [0, N - 1].
Sets S[K] for 0 <= K < N are defined as follows:
S[K] = { A[K], A[A[K]], A[A[A[K]]], ... }.
Sets S[K] are finite for each K and should NOT contain duplicates.
Write a function that given an array A consisting of N integers, return the size of the largest set S[K] for this array.
Example 1:
Input: A = [5,4,0,3,1,6,2]
Output: 4
Explanation:
A[0] = 5, A[1] = 4, A[2] = 0, A[3] = 3, A[4] = 1, A[5] = 6, A[6] = 2.
One of the longest S[K]:
S[0] = {A[0], A[5], A[6], A[2]} = {5, 6, 2, 0}
Note:
- N is an integer within the range [1, 20,000].
- The elements of A are all distinct.
- Each element of array A is an integer within the range [0, N-1].
思路:
感觉类似于求集合的概念。根据给出的例子,可以发现,5 6 2 0这四个数字无论是从0开始还是从2开始,始终是这四个数字为一个集合,于是就可以用一个标记用来表示
是否已经遍历过该数字,比如从0开始,依次找到A[0], A[5], A[6], A[2],将他们依次做标记,就可以避免重复遍历。
