115A-Party

A company has n employees numbered from 1 to n. Each employee either has no immediate manager or exactly one immediate manager, who is another employee with a different number. An employee A is said to be the superior of another employee B if at least one of the following is true:

Employee A is the immediate manager of employee B
Employee B has an immediate manager employee C such that employee A is the superior of employee C.
The company will not have a managerial cycle. That is, there will not exist an employee who is the superior of his/her own immediate manager.

Today the company is going to arrange a party. This involves dividing all n employees into several groups: every employee must belong to exactly one group. Furthermore, within any single group, there must not be two employees A and B such that A is the superior of B.

What is the minimum number of groups that must be formed?

Input
The first line contains integer n (1?≤?n?≤?2000) — the number of employees.

The next n lines contain the integers pi (1?≤?pi?≤?n or pi?=?-1). Every pi denotes the immediate manager for the i-th employee. If pi is -1, that means that the i-th employee does not have an immediate manager.

It is guaranteed, that no employee will be the immediate manager of him/herself (pi?≠?i). Also, there will be no managerial cycles.

Output
Print a single integer denoting the minimum number of groups that will be formed in the party.

题目大意：每个人有0或1个直系上司。开晚会分组，问最少问几组，使得每组里面成员没有上司关系（直接、间接）。

题目思路：刚开始以为是并查集，后来发现不是，其实就是几棵树，求最高的树的层数。简化一下，输入的是每个成员的上司即父节点编号。从叶子节点开始向上搜，找到最大的层数即是答案。
