Question 1
If a union-find structure has 1000 nodes, and 900 union operations are executed with path compression, how would you describe the final tree structure?
💡 Hint: Visualize how multiple unions lead to various branches merging.
Question 2
In a scenario where elements are added incrementally to the union-find structure, come up with a strategy to apply path compression effectively.
💡 Hint: Consider how paths change with every operation.
