802 Find Eventual Safe States

1. Question

In a directed graph, we start at some node and every turn, walk along a directed edge of the graph. If we reach a node that is terminal (that is, it has no outgoing directed edges), we stop.

Now, say our starting node is_eventually safe _if and only if we must eventually walk to a terminal node. More specifically, there exists a natural numberKso that for any choice of where to walk, we must have stopped at a terminal node in less thanKsteps.

Which nodes are eventually safe? Return them as an array in sorted order.

The directed graph hasNnodes with labels0, 1, ..., N-1, whereNis the length ofgraph. The graph is given in the following form:graph[i]is a list of labelsjsuch that(i, j)is a directed edge of the graph.

Example:
Input: graph = [[1,2],[2,3],[5],[0],[5],[],[]]

Output:
[2,4,5,6]
Here is a diagram of the above graph.

Note:

  • graphwill have length at most10000.

  • The number of edges in the graph will not exceed32000.

  • Eachgraph[i]

    will be a sorted list of different integers, chosen within the range[0, graph.length - 1].
