Pak Chanek has $$$n$$$ blank heart-shaped cards. Card $$$1$$$ is attached directly to the wall while each of the other cards is hanging onto exactly one other card by a piece of string. Specifically, card $$$i$$$ ($$$i > 1$$$) is hanging onto card $$$p_i$$$ ($$$p_i < i$$$).
In the very beginning, Pak Chanek must write one integer number on each card. He does this by choosing any permutation $$$a$$$ of $$$[1, 2, \dots, n]$$$. Then, the number written on card $$$i$$$ is $$$a_i$$$.
After that, Pak Chanek must do the following operation $$$n$$$ times while maintaining a sequence $$$s$$$ (which is initially empty):
After that, Pak Chanek will have a sequence $$$s$$$ with $$$n$$$ elements. What is the maximum length of the longest non-decreasing subsequence$$$^\dagger$$$ of $$$s$$$ at the end if Pak Chanek does all the steps optimally?
$$$^\dagger$$$ A sequence $$$b$$$ is a subsequence of a sequence $$$c$$$ if $$$b$$$ can be obtained from $$$c$$$ by deletion of several (possibly, zero or all) elements. For example, $$$[3,1]$$$ is a subsequence of $$$[3,2,1]$$$, $$$[4,3,1]$$$ and $$$[3,1]$$$, but not $$$[1,3,3,7]$$$ and $$$[3,10,4]$$$.
The first line contains a single integer $$$n$$$ ($$$2 \le n \le 10^5$$$) — the number of heart-shaped cards.
The second line contains $$$n - 1$$$ integers $$$p_2, p_3, \dots, p_n$$$ ($$$1 \le p_i < i$$$) describing which card that each card hangs onto.
Print a single integer — the maximum length of the longest non-decreasing subsequence of $$$s$$$ at the end if Pak Chanek does all the steps optimally.

The following is the structure of the cards in the first example.
Pak Chanek can choose the permutation $$$a = [1, 5, 4, 3, 2, 6]$$$.
Let $$$w_i$$$ be the number written on card $$$i$$$. Initially, $$$w_i = a_i$$$. Pak Chanek can do the following operations in order:
One of the longest non-decreasing subsequences of $$$s = [2, 6, 2, 4, 4, 1]$$$ is $$$[2, 2, 4, 4]$$$. Thus, the length of the longest non-decreasing subsequence of $$$s$$$ is $$$4$$$. It can be proven that this is indeed the maximum possible length.
