Please solve it based on the disjoint set "unionfind.": Adidas and Abibas are not similar
Overview
In the bustling world of startups, brand names are everything. A network of young companies wants to ensure that if two companies have nearly identical names, theyre aware of each other. Therefore, they wrote a program that processes brand names using two operations:
Operation ISSIMILARABchecks whether a company name A can be changed to match another name B with just one swap between any two letters. For example, ISSIMILARnadekdanekis true because we can swap the d and n in nadek to get danek. However, ISSIMILARaknorknorais false because no two characters in aknor can be swapped to produce knora.
Operation INDIRECTLYSIMILARABCchecks if each of the strings ABCetcis related to each of the other strings using a chain of ISSIMILAR operations that are true. For example, "dark", "kard", "kadr" and "kdar" are indirectly similar as shown below:
ISSIMILAR matrix:
dark kard kadr kdar
dark T F F
kard T T F
kadr F T T
kdar F F T
While ISSIMILARdarkkdaris false, the two brand names are indirectly similar:
dark kard
kard kadr
kadr kdar
Your Task
A conference is being organized to bring together companies with similar brand names. Participating companies will be distributed over meeting rooms, such that all the companies that are in a room are indirectly or directlysimilar
Given N distinct brand names, each having the same number of characters Lwhere LNdesign an efficient algorithm to find the minimum number of rooms needed in the conference.
Analyze the running time and space requirements of your solution.
