What would you like to Propose? I propose adding a clean and optimized implementation of Kruskal’s Minimum Spanning Tree (MST) algorithm using Union–Find (Disjoint Set Union - DSU) data structure to ...

Social media companies and their respective algorithms have repeatedly been accused of fueling political polarization by promoting divisive content on their platforms. Now, two U.S. Senators have ...

Kruskal’s algorithm finds a Minimum Spanning Tree (MST) by building it edge by edge, always choosing the cheapest edge that doesn’t create a cycle. Sorting all edges in the graph from smallest weight ...
