Find the Town Judge
In a town, there are N
people labelled from 1
to N
. There is a rumor that one of these people is secretly the town judge.
If the town judge exists, then:
The town judge trusts nobody.
Everybody (except for the town judge) trusts the town judge.
There is exactly one person that satisfies properties 1 and 2.
You are given trust
, an array of pairs trust[i] = [a, b]
representing that the person labelled a
trusts the person labelled b
.
If the town judge exists and can be identified, return the label of the town judge. Otherwise, return -1
.
Example 1:
Input: N = 2, trust = [[1,2]]
Output: 2
Example 2:
Input: N = 3, trust = [[1,3],[2,3]]
Output: 3
Example 3:
Input: N = 3, trust = [[1,3],[2,3],[3,1]]
Output: -1
Example 4:
Input: N = 3, trust = [[1,2],[2,3]]
Output: -1
Example 5:
Input: N = 4, trust = [[1,3],[1,4],[2,3],[2,4],[4,3]]
Output: 3
Constraints:
1 <= N <= 1000
0 <= trust.length <= 10^4
trust[i].length == 2
trust[i]
are all differenttrust[i][0] != trust[i][1]
1 <= trust[i][0], trust[i][1] <= N
class Solution {
public int findJudge(int N, int[][] trust) {
// count[i] -> Total number of incoming connections - total of
// outgoing connections for node i
int[] count = new int[N + 1];
for (int[] t : trust) {
count[t[0]]--;
count[t[1]]++;
}
for (int i = 1; i <= N; ++i) {
if (count[i] == N - 1)
return i;
}
return -1;
}
}
