Interactive Quizzes

Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.

Question 1

What is the primary function of the union operation?

  • A) To find the size of a component
  • B) To split a component into two
  • C) To merge two components
  • D) To check if elements are in the same component

💡 Hint: Think about what happens during a team merger.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a list of edges in a graph, demonstrate how the Union-Find structure can be used to detect cycles.

💡 Hint: Start with each vertex in its own set, and apply union carefully.

Question 2

Develop an alternative implementation of Union-Find that uses linked lists instead of arrays, and analyze its efficiency.

💡 Hint: Think about the operations in linked lists and how to traverse them.
