Solution: Course Schedule II
Explore how to use topological sort to find a valid order to complete courses based on prerequisites. Understand graph construction, in-degree calculation, and a breadth-first search approach to detect cycles and produce course schedules efficiently.
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.
