描述
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.
- 输入
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. - 输出
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. - 样例输入

分析：
首先补充一下拓扑排序的思想：
（1）从有向图中选择一个没有前驱（入度为0）的顶点并输出它。
（2）从图中删除该节点，并且删去从该节点出发的全部有向边。
（3）重复上述操作，知道图中不在存在没有前驱的顶点为止。
这样操作的结果有两种：一种是图中全部定点被输出，这说明图中不存在有向回路；另一种是图中顶点未被全部输出，剩余的顶点均有前驱节点，这说明图中存在有向回路。
这就是一个典型的拓扑排序的应用，如果能够排好序的话，说明就是可以的，如果形成环的话，说明能够构成回路也就是存在冲突，否则就是不能够排好序。
