Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a weighted graph, apply Kruskal's algorithm step by step to find the MST. Document the edges added and the state of the Union-Find structure after each step.

💡 Hint: Make sure to consider cycle formation with conflicting edges during union operations.

Question 2

Illustrate how to optimize Union-Find operations using path compression. Show before and after states of the data structure for a series of union operations.

💡 Hint: How does path compression affect future Find operations on the same elements?
