    It does matter!
    The smaller group becomes part of the greater group, otherwise the worst case runtime would be different.

      yas it does matter but I think he was saying in the context of find the mst in the graph, like imagine an exam exercise where you need to draw the mst

      Merging a smaller group into a larger group would require fewer operations, but it does not affect the worst-case runtime. Please let me know if I'm wrong!

      @lordquaggan 2 года назад +4

      @@JanacMeena It actually does! Weighted union keeps tree depth below log(n), even in the worst case (can prove by induction), so find is O(log(n)), while without weighted union, tree depth can be n in the worst case, leading to O(n) find. Applied to Kruskal's algorithm, this is the difference between an overall O(mlog(n)) and O(mn) complexity.

      @@lordquaggan during each find operation you can update the parent of children and attach children directly to it's top-most parent (root node), then in that case tree-depth won't reach O(n), since at every call to find(), the children node will be attached to root node of the whole group.

    I saw your Prim's explanation using PriorityQueue first. Kruskal's using PriorityQueue and Union Find was a piece of cake thence. Your explanations are great and so is your code. Thanks a lot

    at 5:20 you say we've found the minimum spanning tree, but how did you know that they were all connected at the point? Does Kruskals algorithm keep track of group size at each root node?

    • @kylewilliams9429
      @kylewilliams9429 Год назад

      The would all have the same 'root' parent. That's how you know the algorithm is complete. When every vertice has the same parent (belongs to the same 'group')

    • @gradientO
      @gradientO 11 месяцев назад +2

      You can keep track of group count. At the start, each node is a group, so it'll be the node count. Decrease the count on union. Stop immediately when the group size is one instead of going through remaining edges (which won't be added anyway)

      @WilliamFiset-videos  6 лет назад

      Whether you merge the smaller group into the larger group or vice versa doesn't matter. It's just a good heuristic to use for efficiency of the Union find if you merge the smaller group into the larger one.

    !!!!!!!!!! WAIT ,
    The title of your video is very misleading . It should say something like "Application of Union Find data structure (Kruskal's Algorithm)" . Cause when you say adding "C and J" will create a cycle ,that is where we need to know how union Find Algo works .
    else video was awesome

    • @williamvanderscheer4327
      @williamvanderscheer4327 5 лет назад +1

      I know this is obviously very late, but for others reading this, just in case...
      It has nothing to do with the union find algorithm, but with Kruskal's algorithm, which tries to find a minimum spanning tree. A minimum spanning tree is the minimum set of weighted edges needed to connect all nodes. If we select edges that form cycles, then we have by default not found a minimum spanning tree. It doesn't even have anything to do with a cycle itself, it's simply because since that node was already "spanned" before (aka already in the group) we did not have to actually use that edge to visit it, and we needlessly incurred the cost by travelling over that vertex, which violates the invariant of the minimum spanning tree algorithm.
      A scenario that happens to be equivalent to creating cycles. (because we are reaching a node in the group, from a node that is also in that group => cycle)
