Introduction to Topological Sort

What is Topological Sorting?

Topological sorting is a method used to order the vertices of a directed graph such that for every directed edge u \rightarrow v, vertex (u) comes before (v) in the ordering. This concept is crucial in scenarios where there is a dependency between tasks or elements.

For instance, in task scheduling, some tasks must be completed before others, making topological sorting a useful technique.
