565. Array Nesting

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:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
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].

解法1: O(N) Time + O(N) Space

用DFS的思想,同时记录所访问过的元素。对于每一个未被访问过的元素跑一遍DFS,直到碰到已经访问过的元素位置,同时更新一下最大的值。
