Grokking the Coding Interview Patterns in Python

Solution: Parallel Courses III

Explore how to determine the minimum time required to finish a set of courses given their prerequisite order and durations. This lesson helps you understand using topological sort on a directed acyclic graph to manage dependencies and schedule courses efficiently, preparing you to solve similar complex coding interview problems.

We'll cover the following...

Statement  

You are tasked with determining the minimum time required to complete a set of courses, given their prerequisite relationships and individual durations.

There are n courses labeled from 1 to n. The prerequisite relationships between these courses are provided as a 2D integer array relations, where each entry relations[j]=[prevCoursej,nextCoursej]\text{relations}[j] = [\text{prevCourse}_j, \text{nextCourse}_j] ...
