Alien Dictionary
Understand how to find the unique letter order of an alien language from a list of sorted words. Learn to apply topological sorting to solve this lexicographical ordering challenge and implement solutions in Go.
We'll cover the following...
Statement
You are given a list of words written in an alien language, where the words are sorted lexicographically by the rules of this language. Surprisingly, the aliens also use English lowercase letters, but possibly in a different order.
Given a list of words written in the alien language, return a string of unique letters sorted in the lexicographical order of the alien language as derived from the list of words.
If there’s no solution, that is, no valid lexicographical ordering, you can return an empty string "".
If multiple valid orderings exist, you may return any of them.
