Topological Sorting

Topological sorting is a method used to organize items that depend on each other into a linear order, ensuring each item appears before any items that depend on it. Imagine a project plan where some tasks must be completed before others; topological sorting helps determine the sequence to follow, respecting all dependencies. It’s commonly used in situations like scheduling tasks, organizing build processes, or resolving prerequisite relationships, ensuring everything is done in the correct order without incomplete steps before starting subsequent ones.
