Suppose that we have a large software project divided into several files. Let F be the set of files, and let R be the relation on F where fRg if g depends on f. That is, f must be compiled before g. Note that the dependency might not be direct — g might depend on f through some intermediary files h, j etc.. For the purposes of this question, assume that there is at least one file.

a) Is R reflexive, irreflexive, both or neither? Explain why.

b) Is R symmetric, anti-symmetric, both or neither? Explain why.

c) Is R transitive? Explain why.

d) Is R an equivalence relation a partial ordering, or a strict partial ordering? Explain why.

e) If R is an equivalence relation, describe the equivalence classes. Otherwise, if R is a (strict) partial ordering, is it also a (strict) total ordering? Explain why.
