Directed acyclic graph

A directed acyclic graph is a type of chart or graph. It is like a map that has arrows to show direction and it is also like a puzzle because it has pieces that all fit together. With a directed acyclic graph, the arrows always point in the same direction and there are no loops or circles. It is like a roadmap or flowchart and it is used to show the sequence of events or tasks that need to happen. For example, if you were baking a cake, a directed acyclic graph might show the order in which you need to mix the ingredients, bake the cake and then decorate it.
