From 0 to 1 Data Structures & Algorithms in Java - Topological Sort In A Graph

The video tutorial introduces graph algorithms, focusing on topological sort. It explains the concept of topological sort as an ordering of vertices in a directed acyclic graph, where each node precedes nodes it has outgoing edges to. The tutorial provides a detailed walkthrough of the topological sort algorithm, emphasizing the importance of in-degree and the conditions for a valid topological sort. The complexity of the algorithm is discussed, and practical examples are used to illustrate the process.
