Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs)

A Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) is a type of structure used to represent relationships and processes. It consists of nodes (points) connected by directed edges (arrows) that show the direction of flow. “Directed” means that the connections have a specific direction, while “acyclic” means that there are no loops; you can't start at one node and return back to it by following the arrows. DAGs are useful in various fields, including computer science and data organization, as they help model dependencies, like task scheduling or data flow, without circular relationships.
