What this example teaches
Topological Sort
Output
The function returns the correct result while keeping time and space tradeoffs visible.
Line-by-line explanation
- Line 1 sets up the Topological Sort example: function uniqueValues(values) {.
- Line 2 adds one required part of the working pattern: const seen = new Set();.
- Line 3 exposes the output so you can verify the behavior: return values.filter((value) => {.
- Line 4 adds the decision or filter that controls the result: if (seen.has(value)) return false;.
- Line 5 adds one required part of the working pattern: seen.add(value);.
- Line 6 exposes the output so you can verify the behavior: return true;.
Why this example is useful
This example is useful because it isolates topological sort without surrounding noise, so you can see the idea clearly.
Where it is used in real projects
Topological Sort appears in real DSA work when a feature needs a clear pattern that can be reviewed and changed safely.
Beginner variation
Change one label, value or condition in the Topological Sort example and run it again.
Advanced variation
Combine Topological Sort with validation, error handling or reusable structure.
