<p>You are given a <strong>directed</strong> graph of <code>n</code> nodes numbered from <code>0</code> to <code>n - 1</code>, where each node has <strong>at most one</strong> outgoing edge.</p>

<p>The graph is represented with a given <strong>0-indexed</strong> array <code>edges</code> of size <code>n</code>, indicating that there is a directed edge from node <code>i</code> to node <code>edges[i]</code>. If there is no outgoing edge from node <code>i</code>, then <code>edges[i] == -1</code>.</p>

<p>Return <em>the length of the <strong>longest</strong> cycle in the graph</em>. If no cycle exists, return <code>-1</code>.</p>

<p>A cycle is a path that starts and ends at the <strong>same</strong> node.</p>

<pre>
<strong>Input:</strong> edges = [3,3,4,2,3]
<strong>Output:</strong> 3
<strong>Explanation:</strong> The longest cycle in the graph is the cycle: 2 -&gt; 4 -&gt; 3 -&gt; 2.
The length of this cycle is 3, so 3 is returned.

<pre>
<strong>Input:</strong> edges = [2,-1,3,1]
<strong>Output:</strong> -1
<strong>Explanation:</strong> There are no cycles in this graph.
