Solution: Course Schedule II
Explore how to determine a valid order of courses given their prerequisites by applying topological sort. Understand building graphs, tracking in-degrees, and using breadth-first search to find course schedules or detect cycles preventing completion.
Statement
You are given n courses, labeled from 0 to n - 1. Some courses have prerequisites, which are provided as a list of pairs: prerequisites[i]
Your task is to determine a valid order in which you can complete all the courses and return it as an array of course labels.
If there are multiple valid orderings, you can return any of them.
If it’s impossible to finish all courses (due to a cycle in prerequisites), return an empty array.
Note: There can be a course in the
to range with no prerequisites.
Constraints:
Let be the number of courses.
