Constructor Detail

UnionFind

public UnionFind(int n)

Initializes the disjoint-set data structure.

Parameters:

n - the overall size of the domain

Method Detail

union

public int union(int p,
        int q)

Unites the sets containing the two given elements.

Parameters:

p - the first element

q - the second element

Returns:

the identifier of the resulting set

link

public int link(int x,
       int y)

Unites two given sets. Note that the behavior of this method is not specified if the given parameters are normal elements and no set identifiers.

Parameters:

x - the first set

y - the second set

Returns:

the identifier of the resulting set (either x or y)

find

public int find(int x)

Finds the set of a given element, and compresses the path to the root node.

Parameters:

x - the element

Returns:

the identifier of the set which contains the given element
