Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a series of union operations on elements, demonstrate the state of the Union-Find structure at each step and compute the resulting sizes of components.

💡 Hint: Map out each element and ensure to reflect on which joins which component.

Question 2

Implement a simple Union-Find structure with path compression and demonstrate it using a few find and union operations, explaining the changes in structure.

💡 Hint: Keep track of the structures before and after each operation!
