In this HackerEarth City and Soldiers problem solution Today, King Trophies is on another rampage to destroy the small village controlled by Alex. Please help his soldiers.
At first, there are N individual soldiers, who haven’t yet joined together; each of these soldiers is the leader of his/her own group. You have to handle 3 types of operations:
- Two groups find each other, and the leader of the first group steps down
- A becomes the leader of his group
- Output the leader of a certain group
