实际上挺早之前便了解了拓扑排序,但一直不是很清楚他有什么用的。最近做了一道拓扑排序的题目,大概对这类问题有了一些了解吧。拓扑排序适用于一种特殊的图,这种图有以下特征。
1:该图为有向图。
2:该图有严格的顺序,不存在后面的被指向的节点去指向前面的节点。
即不存在a->b->c->a这一条。
拓扑排序有两个作用,检查是否是拓扑图和输出拓扑序。

Fox Ciel is going to publish a paper on FOCS (Foxes Operated Computer Systems, pronounce: “Fox”). She heard a rumor: the authors list on the paper is always sorted in the lexicographical order.
After checking some examples, she found out that sometimes it wasn’t true. On some papers authors’ names weren’t sorted in lexicographical order in normal sense. But it was always true that after some modification of the order of letters in alphabet, the order of authors becomes lexicographical!
She wants to know, if there exists an order of letters in Latin alphabet such that the names on the paper she is submitting are following in the lexicographical order. If so, you should find out any such order.
Lexicographical order is defined in following way. When we compare s and t, first we find the leftmost position with differing characters: s i ≠ t i. If there is no such position (i. e. s is a prefix of t or vice versa) the shortest string is less. Otherwise, we compare characters s i and t i according to their order in alphabet.
Input
The first line contains an integer n (1 ≤ n ≤ 100): number of names.
Each of the following n lines contain one string name i (1 ≤ |name i| ≤ 100), the i-th name. Each name contains only lowercase Latin letters. All names are different.
Output
If there exists such order of letters that the given names are sorted lexicographically, output any such order as a permutation of characters ‘a’–‘z’ (i. e. first output the first letter of the modified alphabet, then the second, and so on).
Otherwise output a single word “Impossible” (without quotes).

这题的意思就是让我们重新排列字典序,然后判断是否解是合理的。什么是合理的呢,就是比如你a->b->c,后面不存在c->a的这种情况。代码有详解。
