What does a topological sort help to determine?
What does a topological sort help to determine?
- The longest path in a graph
- The shortest path in a graph

- Connected graph
- Undirected graph
- Directed acyclic graph (DAG) (correct)
- Complete graph
Why can't we sort the vertices of a cyclic graph using topological sort?
Why can't we sort the vertices of a cyclic graph using topological sort?
- Because cyclic graphs do not have vertices
- Because topological sort works only on complete graphs
- Because cyclic graphs have parallel edges
- Because topological sort cannot handle cyclic dependencies (correct)
