- Give each element a component representative.
- Merge representatives when a connection is accepted.
- Answer connectivity or component queries from the compressed representatives.
Code notes
- 134 lines of Python from the credited upstream file abc399_c.py.
- The implementation visibly relies on sequence storage, ordered lookup.
- No explicit loop blocks detected.
Complexity
Account for every find and union operation; with path compression and ranked merging, the amortized cost is nearly constant per operation.
Check the problem constraints before deciding whether this complexity will pass.
Use this to learn the idea, then write your own version.
