Question 1

What is a key characteristic of a DAG?

  • It has cycles.
  • It is undirected.
  • There are no cycles.
  • It has more than one edge.

💡 Hint: Recall the definition of acyclic.

Question 2

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given the tasks A, B, C, and D with the dependencies A -> B, A -> C, B -> D, C -> D, construct a DAG and describe the sequence of tasks.

💡 Hint: Focus on the dependencies to form the correct order.

Question 2

If a DAG has three vertices with in-degrees of 0, discuss how this could affect topological sorting.

💡 Hint: Consider how having more starting points impacts task sequencing.
