Inputs:
- D, a digraph,
- v, a thing, the vertex whose parents we want to find
Outputs:
- P, a set, the parents of v

Description

The parents of a vertex v in a digraph D are all the vertexSet u in D such that {u,v} is an edge of D. In other words, the parents of v are all the vertexSet that have edges coming out of them that point at v.
