Solution: Parallel Courses

Explore how to calculate the minimum number of semesters to complete courses with prerequisites by modeling them as a directed graph. Understand topological sorting, depth-first search, cycle detection, and memoization to efficiently solve scheduling problems and identify impossible course sequences.

Statement

You are designing a course schedule for a university with n courses, labeled from 1 to n. The prerequisite requirements are given in an array, relations, where each relations[i]=[prevCoursei,nextCoursei]\text{relations}[i] = [\text{prevCourse}_i, \text{nextCourse}_i] means that prevCoursei\text{prevCourse}_i must be completed before you can enroll in nextCoursei\text{nextCourse}_i ...
