Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Assume a graph has the following directed edges: (1, 2), (2, 3), (3, 1). Using Warshall's algorithm, compute the transitive closure matrix.

💡 Hint: Ensure to consider every potential intermediate step as you create your matrix.

Challenge 2 Hard

Given the relation R with the following connections: (A, B), (B, C), and (C, D). Create the initial and final matrices using Warshall's algorithm.

💡 Hint: Track how new connections evolve as you implement the steps in Warshall's algorithm.
