Solution: Course Schedule

Explore how to solve the Course Schedule problem using topological sort and depth-first search to check if all courses can be completed. Learn to build a graph, track in-degrees, detect cycles, and understand the relationship between courses and prerequisites. This lesson will help you implement these algorithms efficiently to determine course completion feasibility.

Statement

You are given an integer, numCourses, representing the total number of courses you need to complete, labeled from 0 to numCourses - 1.

You are also given a prerequisites array, where prerequisites[i] = [a[i], b[i]] indicates that you must take course b[i] first if you want to take the course a[i]. For example, the pair $[1, 0]$ indicates that to take course $1$ , you have to first take course $0$ .

Return TRUE if all of the courses can be finished. Otherwise, return FALSE.

Constraints:

$1 \leq$
