Solution: Number of Islands

Explore how to implement the Union Find algorithm to identify and count islands in a 2D grid by connecting adjacent land cells. This lesson guides you through initializing and using Union Find to merge connected lands and efficiently solve common graph problems.

Statement

Let’s consider a scenario with an (m×n)(m \times n) 2D grid containing binary numbers, where '0' represents water and '1' represents land. If any '1' cells are connected to each other horizontally or vertically (not diagonally), they form an island. Your task is to return the total number of islands in the grid.

Constraints:

  • 11 \leq grid.length 50\leq 50

  • 11 \leq ...
