sorting

• inversions in a sequence is a pair of elements that are out of order with respect to the ordering relation. a sorting algorithm is a sequence of operations that reduces inversions to zero.

• a topological sort of a diretect graph is a way of ordering the list of nodes such that if (a, b) is a edge of the graph, then a appears before b. it does not work if a graph has cycles or is not directed.
