Question 1.
Define a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG).
Show hintHide hint
Think about the term 'acyclic'.
Question 2.
What is topological sorting?
Show hintHide hint
Consider the order of tasks with dependencies.
3Question 3.
What defines a Directed Acyclic Graph?
- It has loops
- It has directed edges
- It is undirected
Show hintHide hint
Focus on the structure of the graph.
4Question 4.
True or False: Every DAG can be topologically sorted.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about dependency structures.
Question 5.
Consider a project with multiple tasks where some depend on previous completion. Create a DAG of this project and compute the longest path.
Show hintHide hint
Focus on where the longest chains tend to originate.
Question 6.
If adding a task modifies existing dependencies, recalibrate the longest path. What challenges might this present and how would you address them?
Show hintHide hint
Consider how changes ripple through the project dependencies.
