Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In a Disjoint Set Union, what does the 'find' operation return?
  • Step 1: Understand that a Disjoint Set Union (DSU) is a data structure that keeps track of a collection of disjoint (non-overlapping) sets.
  • Step 2: Each set in the DSU has a unique representative or leader, which is an element that identifies the set.
  • Step 3: The 'find' operation is used to determine which set a specific element belongs to.
  • Step 4: When you perform the 'find' operation on an element, it returns the representative (or leader) of the set that contains that element.
  • Step 5: This representative can be used to check if two elements are in the same set or to merge sets.
