Question 1

What is the initial time complexity for the find operation in union-find?

  • O(n)
  • O(log n)
  • O(1)

💡 Hint: Consider what happens during a direct lookup.

Question 2

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a sequence of union operations, illustrate how the data structure looks after each operation. Describe what happens to the find operations for the involved elements.

💡 Hint: Use a diagram to represent the sequence and changes.

Question 2

Suppose you implement path compression in the union-find structure. Analyze the implications of this on the time complexity of find operations across multiple sequences.

💡 Hint: Sketch out how the path updates during the process.
