   else {
     p = p->R;
   while(p->LTH == child)
  p = p->R;
   return p;
   }

       ►  The function cannot be compile as it has syntax error. 


       ►  The function has logical problem, therefore, it will not work properly.

Question No: 22      ( Marks: 1 ) - Please choose one
 


Which of the following statement is correct about find(x) operation:

Question No: 23      ( Marks: 1 ) - Please choose one
 


Which of the following statement is NOT correct about find operation: 




       ►    It is not a requirement that a find operation returns any specific name, just that finds on two elements return the same answer if and only if they are in the same set. 


       ► One idea might be to use a tree to represent each set, since each element in a tree has the same root, thus the root can be used to name the set.
