Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You are given a set of tasks with cyclic dependencies (A -> B, B -> C, C -> A). Explain why a topological sort cannot be performed.

💡 Hint: Reflect on circular dependencies.

Question 2

For a DAG consisting of tasks A, B, C, and dependencies A -> B, A -> C, C -> D, determine a possible valid topological order.

💡 Hint: Think about which tasks can be completed first based on their dependencies.
