207. Course Schedule

Course Schedule - LeetCode

There are a total of numCourses courses you have to take, labeled from 0 to numCourses - 1. You are given an array prerequisites where prerequisites[i] = [ai, bi] indicates that you must take course bi first if you want to take course ai.

For example, the pair [0, 1], indicates that to take course 0 you have to first take course 1.Return true if you can finish all courses. Otherwise, return false.

Example 1: Input: numCourses = 2, prerequisites = [[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: numCourses = 2, prerequisites = [[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.

Constraints:

1 <= numCourses <= 105 0 <= prerequisites.length <= 5000 prerequisites[i].length == 2 0 <= ai, bi < numCourses All the pairs prerequisites[i] are unique.
