Sorting It All Out

Description
An ascending sorted sequence of distinct values is one in which some form of a less-than operator is used to order the elements from smallest to largest. For example, the sorted sequence A, B, C, D implies that A < B, B < C and C < D. in this problem, we will give you a set of relations of the form A < B and ask you to determine whether a sorted order has been specified or not.
Input
Input consists of multiple problem instances. Each instance starts with a line containing two positive integers n and m. the first value indicated the number of objects to sort, where 2 <= n <= 26. The objects to be sorted will be the first n characters of the uppercase alphabet. The second value m indicates the number of relations of the form A < B which will be given in this problem instance. Next will be m lines, each containing one such relation consisting of three characters: an uppercase letter, the character “<” and a second uppercase letter. No letter will 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, output consists of one line. This line should be 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 is determined or an inconsistency is found, whichever comes first, and yyy…y is the sorted, ascending sequence.
Sample Input
4 6
A<B
A<C
B<C
C<D
B<D
A<B
3 2
A<B
B<A
26 1
A<Z
0 0
Sample Output
Sorted sequence determined after 4 relations: ABCD.
Inconsistency found after 2 relations.
Sorted sequence cannot be determined.

题意概括:
n表示26个字母的前n个,有m个关系,判断这n个字母能否确定唯一的关系,若能输出Sorted sequence determined after i relations: 关系序列. (i代表第i个关系处判断出的结果)若不能,判断是成环的话输出Inconsistency found after i relations. 若不能判断关系输出Sorted sequence cannot be determined.
解题分析:
这道题是一个拓扑排序,每输入一个关系,对相应点的入度进行更新,并进行拓扑排序,直到最后判断出关系。
