Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given a graph with the following edges: A -> B, A -> C, B -> D, C -> E, and D -> E. Determine if this graph is a DAG.

💡 Hint: Check for paths that may return to start points.

Challenge 2 Hard

Propose a new task flow for a project where tasks A, B, C, and D lead to a final task E. Identify the edges to create a valid DAG.

💡 Hint: Visualize how each task must flow into the next.
