There are a total of n courses you have to take, labeled from 0 to n-1.
Some courses may have prerequisites, for example to take course 0 you have to first take course 1, which is expressed as a pair: [0,1]
Given the total number of courses and a list of prerequisite pairs, is it possible for you to finish all courses?
Example 1:
Input: 2, [[1,0]]
Output: true
Explanation: There are a total of 2 courses to take.
To take course 1 you should have finished course 0. So it is possible.
Example 2:
Input: 2, [[1,0],[0,1]]
Output: false
Explanation: There are a total of 2 courses to take.
To take course 1 you should have finished course 0, and to take course 0 you should
also have finished course 1. So it is impossible.
Note:
The input prerequisites is a graph represented by a list of edges, not adjacency matrices. Read more about how a graph is represented.
You may assume that there are no duplicate edges in the input prerequisites.
Hints:
This problem is equivalent to finding if a cycle exists in a directed graph. If a cycle exists, no topological ordering exists and therefore it will be impossible to take all courses.
There are several ways to represent a graph. For example, the input prerequisites is a graph represented by a list of edges. Is this graph representation appropriate?

这道课程清单的问题对于我们学生来说应该不陌生,因为在选课的时候经常会遇到想选某一门课程,发现选它之前必须先上了哪些课程,这道题给了很多提示,第一条就告诉了这道题的本质就是在有向图中检测环。 LeetCode 中关于图的题很少,有向图的仅此一道,还有一道关于无向图的题是 Clone Graph。个人认为图这种数据结构相比于树啊,链表啊什么的要更为复杂一些,尤其是有向图,很麻烦。第二条提示是在讲如何来表示一个有向图,可以用边来表示,边是由两个端点组成的,用两个点来表示边。第三第四条提示揭示了此题有两种解法,DFS 和 BFS 都可以解此题。先来看 BFS 的解法,定义二维数组 graph 来表示这个有向图,一维数组 in 来表示每个顶点的入度。开始先根据输入来建立这个有向图,并将入度数组也初始化好。然后定义一个 queue 变量,将所有入度为0的点放入队列中,然后开始遍历队列,从 graph 里遍历其连接的点,每到达一个新节点,将其入度减一,如果此时该点入度为0,则放入队列末尾。直到遍历完队列中所有的值,若此时还有节点的入度不为0,则说明环存在,返回 false,反之则返回 true。代码如下:
解法一:
下面来看 DFS 的解法,也需要建立有向图,还是用二维数组来建立,和 BFS 不同的是,像现在需要一个一维数组 visit 来记录访问状态,这里有三种状态,0表示还未访问过,1表示已经访问了,-1 表示有冲突。大体思路是,先建立好有向图,然后从第一个门课开始,找其可构成哪门课,暂时将当前课程标记为已访问,然后对新得到的课程调用 DFS 递归,直到出现新的课程已经访问过了,则返回 false,没有冲突的话返回 true,然后把标记为已访问的课程改为未访问。代码如下:
解法二:
