Challenge: Find the Minimum Spanning Tree of the Given Graph
Explore how to find the minimum spanning tree of a weighted graph by implementing a function that connects all vertices with minimal total edge weight and no cycles. Learn to modify graph structures and use disjoint sets as part of a step-by-step greedy algorithm approach suited for coding interview challenges.
