Topological Sort
Topological sorting is a linear ordering of the vertices of a directed acyclic graph (DAG) such that for every directed edge (u, v), vertex u comes before vertex v in the ordering. A Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) is a graph that is directed, meaning that edges have a direction, and it is acyclic, meaning that there are no cycles or closed loops in the graph. • In concurrent systems, topological sorting can be used to avoid deadlocks by ensuring that resources are acquired in a safe order. Note: Topological sorting is applicable only to directed acyclic graphs (DAGs). It cannot be used on graphs with cycles.
