Detailed Description

DSU (Disjoint sets)

It is a very powerful data structure that keeps track of different clusters(sets) of elements, these sets are disjoint(doesnot have a common element). Disjoint sets uses cases : for finding connected components in a graph, used in Kruskal's algorithm for finding Minimum Spanning tree. Operations that can be performed: 1) UnionSet(i,j): add(element i and j to the set) 2) findSet(i): returns the representative of the set to which i belogngs to. 3) get_max(i),get_min(i) : returns the maximum and minimum Below is the class-based approach which uses the heuristic of path compression. Using path compression in findSet(i),we are able to get to the representative of i in O(1) time.
