Diagraph – Directed Walk – Directed acyclic graph (DAG)

Diagraph

A graph with directed edges is called a directed graph or diagraph.

Directed Walk

A directed walk (or Walk) in a directed graph is a sequence of vertices v0, v1, v2………vk and egdes v0 -> v1, v1 -> v2, ……. vk-1 -> vk.

Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG)

A directed graph is called a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) if it does not contain any directed cycles.
