Solution: Number of Islands
Explore how to apply the Union Find algorithm to identify and count islands in a 2D grid of binary values. Learn to connect adjacent land cells, merge their sets, and track the total number of distinct islands efficiently. This lesson helps you understand grid traversal and graph connectivity concepts using Union Find.
