Question 1

What does the find operation do in a Union-Find data structure?

  • Merges two components
  • Checks if two components are the same
  • Identifies which component an element belongs to

💡 Hint: Think about the purpose of the operation.

Question 2

True or False: The union operation is always faster than the find operation.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider how merging is handled.
