DIY: Course Schedule II
We'll cover the following
Problem statement
There is a total of n
courses labeled from 0
to n - 1
.
Some courses may have prerequisites. For example, if prerequisites[i] = [ai, bi]
, you must take course b
before course a
.
Given the total number of courses n
and a list of the prerequisite pairs, return the course order one should take to finish all of the courses.
Input
Here is an example input:
n = 4
prerequisites = [[1,0],[2,0],[3,1],[3,2]]
Output
Here is an example output:
[0,2,1,3]
Another valid ordering is [0,1,2,3]
.
Coding exercise
Implement the find_order(n, prerequisites)
function, where n
is the number of courses and prerequisites
is the list of prerequisites. The function returns the order in which a student can take all of the courses.
