Description
An ascending sorted sequence of distinct values are one in which some form of a less-than operator are used to order the Ele ments from smallest to largest. For example, the sorted sequence A, B, C, D implies, a < B, b < C and C < D. In this problem, we'll give yo U a set of relations of the form a < B and ask you to determine whether a sorted order have been specified or not.
Input
Input consists of multiple problem instances. Each instance starts with a line containing-positive integers n and m. The first value indicated the number of objects To sort, where 2 <= n <= 26. The objects to be sorted'll be the first n characters of the uppercase alphabet. The second value m indicates the number of relations of the form A < B which'll be given in this problem instance. Next'll be M lines, each containing one such relation consisting of three Characters:an uppercase letter, the character "<" and a second uppercase letter. No letter would be outside the range of the first n letters of the alphabet. Values of n = m = 0 indicate end of input.
Output
For each problem instance, the output consists of one line. This line should is one of the following three:
Sorted sequence determined after xxx relations:yyy...y.
Sorted sequence cannot be determined.
Inconsistency found after xxx relations.
where xxx is the number of relations processed at the time either a sorted sequence are determined or an inconsistency is F Ound, whichever comes first, and yyy...y is the sorted, ascending sequence.
Sample Input
4 6a<ba<cb<cc<db<da<b3 2a<bb<a26 1a<z0 0
Sample Output
Sorted sequence determined after 4 RELATIONS:ABCD. Inconsistency found after 2 relations. Sorted sequence cannot be determined.

Problem Solving Ideas:
Application of topological sequencing. The http://www.cnblogs.com/pushing-my-way/archive/2012/08/23/2652033.html did.
There are a lot of problems to be aware of and a little "pit". The following is a transfer from the above blog, () inside the content is my own Add.
Test instructions: Give you some partial-order relationships between capital letters, and then let you infer whether you can uniquely determine the relationship between them, or if the relationship is contradictory, or in the end it is impossible to determine the relationship between them.
Analysis:
Sort by topology:
1. Topology sequencing can be implemented with stacks, each of which is a node with an entry level of 0 (which can also be used in a queue, or not using queues and stacks, looping n times, and finding a point with a degree of 0).
1. The results of topological sequencing are generally divided into three cases: 1, can infer (topological ordering has a unique result) 2, there is a conflict (there is no penetration of 0 nodes) 3, insufficient conditions, can not be inferred.
2. This problem requires not only the inference of these three cases, but also the inference that in the first two cases when dealing with the first relationship, three cases are prioritized for this problem. The first two cases are equal who first appear first to output the corresponding results, for the third case is not in the first two cases under the premise of the output of the corresponding results.
Online error tips for this problem (note):
1. Order of the subject:
A. First, there is no ring, the direct output of the ring can not be determined;
B. Assuming there is no ring, then see if there are a variety of circumstances, assuming that there are a number of cases to read the next line, assuming that all the lines read or there are many situations, is not OK
C. Assuming that there is no ring at the end, there are no multiple cases (that is, there is only one point at which the zero-per-entry is taken), then the answer is.
2. There is the answer to the first answer, no matter what the future will be contradictory or something;
3. Assume that you can answer the question without reading the complete input, and be sure to read the rest of the line.
