Count Nodes With the Highest Score
<p>There is a <strong>binary</strong> tree rooted at <code>0</code> consisting of <code>n</code> nodes. The nodes are labeled from <code>0</code> to <code>n - 1</code>. You are given a <strong>0-indexed</strong> integer array <code>parents</code> representing the tree, where <code>parents[i]</code> is the parent of node <code>i</code>. Since node <code>0</code> is the root, <code>parents[0] == -1</code>.</p>

<p>Each node has a <strong>score</strong>. To find the score of a node, consider if the node and the edges connected to it were <strong>removed</strong>. The tree would become one or more <strong>non-empty</strong> subtrees. The <strong>size</strong> of a subtree is the number of the nodes in it. The <strong>score</strong> of the node is the <strong>product of the sizes</strong> of all those subtrees.</p>

<p>Return <em>the <strong>number</strong> of nodes that have the <strong>highest score</strong></em>.</p>

<img alt="example-1" src="https://fastly.jsdelivr.net/gh/doocs/leetcode@main/solution/2000-2099/2049.Count%20Nodes%20With%20the%20Highest%20Score/images/example-1.png" style="width: 604px; height: 266px;" />
<pre>
<strong>Input:</strong> parents = [-1,2,0,2,0]
<strong>Output:</strong> 3
<strong>Explanation:</strong>
- The score of node 0 is: 3 * 1 = 3
- The score of node 1 is: 4 = 4
- The score of node 2 is: 1 * 1 * 2 = 2
- The score of node 3 is: 4 = 4
- The score of node 4 is: 4 = 4
The highest score is 4, and three nodes (node 1, node 3, and node 4) have the highest score.

<pre>
<strong>Input:</strong> parents = [-1,2,0]
<strong>Output:</strong> 2
<strong>Explanation:</strong>
- The score of node 0 is: 2 = 2
- The score of node 1 is: 2 = 2
- The score of node 2 is: 1 * 1 = 1
The highest score is 2, and two nodes (node 0 and node 1) have the highest score.
