这里主要用到的知识点是Union-find数据结构:
In this programming problem and the next you'll code up the clustering algorithm from lecture for computing a max-spacing k-clustering. Download the text file here. This file describes a distance function (equivalently, a complete graph with edge costs). It has the following format:
[number_of_nodes]
[edge 1 node 1] [edge 1 node 2] [edge 1 cost]
[edge 2 node 1] [edge 2 node 2] [edge 2 cost]
...
There is one edge (i,j) for each choice of 1≤i<j≤n, where n is the number of nodes. For example, the third line of the file is "1 3 5250", indicating that the distance between nodes 1 and 3 (equivalently, the cost of the edge (1,3)) is 5250. You can assume that distances are positive, but you should NOT assume that they are distinct.
Your task in this problem is to run the clustering algorithm from lecture on this data set, where the target number k of clusters is set to 4. What is the m
