`#include <CGAL/Union_find.h>`

## Definition

template<typename T, typename A>
class CGAL::Union_find< T, A >

An instance `P` of the data type `Union_find<T,A>` is a partition of values of type `T` into disjoint sets.

The template parameter `A` has to be a model of the allocator concept as defined in the C++ standard. It has a default argument `CGAL_ALLOCATOR(T)`.

Implementation

`Union_find<T,A>` is implemented with union by rank and path compression. The running time for \( m\) set operations on \( n\) elements is \(O(n \alpha(m,n))\) where \( \alpha(m,n)\) is the extremely slow growing inverse of Ackermann's function.

## Types
There are also constant versions `const_handle` and `const_iterator`.
typedef unspecified_type | value_type
| values stored in items (equal to `T`).
typedef unspecified_type | handle
| handle to values.
typedef unspecified_type | iterator
| iterator over values.
typedef unspecified_type | allocator
| allocator.

## Creation
| Union_find ()
| creates an instance `P` of type `Union_find<T,A>` and initializes it to the empty partition.

## Operations
allocator | get_allocator () const
| the allocator of the partition.
std::size_t | number_of_sets () const
| returns the number of disjoint sets of the partition.
std::size_t | size () const
| returns the number of values of the partition.
std::size_t | bytes () const
| returns the memory consumed by the partition.
std::size_t | size (const_handle h) const
| returns the size of the set containing `h`.
void | clear ()
| reinitializes to an empty partition.
handle | make_set (const T &x)
| creates a new singleton set containing `x` and returns a handle to it.
handle | push_back (const T &x)
| same as `make_set()`.
template<class Forward_iterator >
void | insert (Forward_iterator first, Forward_iterator beyond)
| inserts the range of values referenced by `[first,beyond)`.
handle | find (handle h) const
const_handle | find (const_handle p) const
| returns a canonical handle of the set that contains `h`, i.e., `P.same_set(h,h2)` iff `P.find(h) == P.find(h2)`.
void | unify_sets (handle h1, handle h2)
| unites the sets of partition `P` containing `h1` and `h2`.
bool | same_set (const_handle h1, const_handle h2) const
| returns true iff `h1` and `h2` belong to the same set of `P`.
iterator | begin () const
| returns an iterator pointing to the first value of the partition.
iterator | end () const
| returns an iterator pointing beyond the last value of the partition.

## Member Function Documentation

## ◆ find()

template<typename T , typename A >

const_handle CGAL::Union_find< T, A >::find | ( | const_handle | p | ) | const

returns a canonical handle of the set that contains `h`, i.e., `P.same_set(h,h2)` iff `P.find(h) == P.find(h2)`.

Precondition
  `h` is a handle in `P`.

## ◆ insert()

template<typename T , typename A >
template<class Forward_iterator >

void CGAL::Union_find< T, A >::insert | ( | Forward_iterator | first,
|  | Forward_iterator | beyond
| ) |  |

inserts the range of values referenced by `[first,beyond)`.

Template Parameters

  Forward_iterator | must be a forward iterator with value type `T`.

## ◆ same_set()

template<typename T , typename A >

bool CGAL::Union_find< T, A >::same_set | ( | const_handle | h1,
|  | const_handle | h2
| ) |  | const

returns true iff `h1` and `h2` belong to the same set of `P`.

Precondition
  `h1` and `h2` are in `P`.

## ◆ unify_sets()

template<typename T , typename A >

void CGAL::Union_find< T, A >::unify_sets | ( | handle | h1,
|  | handle | h2
| ) |  |

unites the sets of partition `P` containing `h1` and `h2`.

Precondition
  `h1` and `h2` are in `P`.
