Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Design a Union-Find data structure from scratch, explaining each part of your implementation. What optimizations can you include?
💡 Hint: Consider both the data structure itself and how operations will be implemented.
Given m union operations in an initial set of n unique elements, calculate the worst-case time complexity for both union and find operations.
💡 Hint: Break down the individual complexities of operations and accumulate over m steps.
