997. Find the Town Judge

Find the Town Judge - LeetCode

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:

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 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 = 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

Constraints:

1 <= n <= 1000
0 <= trust.length <= 104
trust[i].length == 2
All the pairs of trust are unique.
ai != bi
1 <= ai, bi <= n
