Find the Town Judge

Easy

Company Tags

In a town, there are n people labeled from 1 to n. There is a rumor that one of these people is secretly the town judge.

If the town judge exists, then:

  1. The town judge trusts nobody.
  2. Everybody (except for the town judge) trusts the town judge.
  3. There is exactly one person that satisfies properties 1 and 2.

You are given an array trust where trust[i] = [ai, bi] representing that the person labeled ai trusts the person labeled bi.

Return the label of the town judge if the town judge exists and can be identified, or return -1 otherwise.

Example 1:

Input: n = 4, trust = [[1,3],[4,3],[2,3]]

Output: 3

Example 2:

Input: n = 3, trust = [[1,3],[2,3],[3,1],[3,2]]

Output: -1

Constraints:

  • 1 <= n <= 1000
  • 0 <= trust.length <= 10,000
  • trust[i].length == 2
  • All the pairs of trust are unique.
  • trust[i][0] != trust[i][1]
  • 1 <= trust[i][0], trust[i][1] <= n
