Well, I wonder how a compiler finds out dependencies in a header file( one headers needs another and another needs the other and blah blah blah). So let's say -
We have 4 headers named "A", "B", "C" and "D"
--> "A" depends on "B" and "C"
--> "B" depends on "D"
--> "C" doesn't depend on anyone
--> "D" depends on "C"
Here's our problem- How all these headers will be sorted so that before including a header all it's dependencies will be met. And here comes topological sorting. We should sort them like this -
C -- D -- B -- A
So now all dependencies will be met !
Here's how I did that -

And here we go -
The StringTopoSort doesn't need c++11, but the declaration of headers here needs
this. So you have to compile it by -
g++ main.cpp -std=c++11
