Parallel Courses III

Problem Statement

relations contains [prerequisite,nextCourse] for courses 1 through n, and time[i] is the duration of course i + 1. A course may begin as soon as all prerequisites finish, and any number may run concurrently. The dependency graph is acyclic. Return the least time needed to finish every course.

Examples

# Example 1

Input
n = 3, relations = [[1,3],[2,3]], time = [3,2,5]
Output
8

# Example 2

Input
n = 5, relations = [[1,5],[2,5],[3,5],[3,4],[4,5]], time = [1,2,3,4,5]
Output
12

Constraints

1 <= n <= 5 * 10^4
0 <= relations.length <= min(n * (n - 1) / 2, 5 * 10^4)
relations[j].length == 2
1 <= prevCoursej, nextCoursej <= n
prevCoursej != nextCoursej
All the pairs [prevCoursej, nextCoursej] are unique.
time.length == n
1 <= time[i] <= 10^4
The given graph is a directed acyclic graph.
