/**
 *  The {@code QuickUnionUF} class represents a <em>union–find data type</em>
 *  (also known as the <em>disjoint-sets data type</em>).
 *  It supports the <em>union</em> and <em>find</em> operations,
 *  along with a <em>connected</em> operation for determining whether
 *  two sites are in the same component and a <em>count</em> operation that
 *  returns the total number of components.
 *  <p>
 *  The union–find data type models connectivity among a set of <em>n</em>
 *  sites, named 0 through <em>n</em>–1.
 *  The <em>is-connected-to</em> relation must be an
 *  <em>equivalence relation</em>:
 *  <ul>
 *  <li> <em>Reflexive</em>: <em>p</em> is connected to <em>p</em>.
 *  <li> <em>Symmetric</em>: If <em>p</em> is connected to <em>q</em>,
 *       then <em>q</em> is connected to <em>p</em>.
 *  <li> <em>Transitive</em>: If <em>p</em> is connected to <em>q</em>
 *       and <em>q</em> is connected to <em>r</em>, then
 *       <em>p</em> is connected to <em>r</em>.
 *  </ul>
 *  <p>
 *  An equivalence relation partitions the sites into
 *  <em>equivalence classes</em> (or <em>components</em>). In this case,
 *  two sites are in the same component if and only if they are connected.
 *  Both sites and components are identified with integers between 0 and
 *  <em>n</em>–1.
 *  Initially, there are <em>n</em> components, with each site in its
 *  own component.  The <em>component identifier</em> of a component
 *  (also known as the <em>root</em>, <em>canonical element</em>, <em>leader</em>,
 *  or <em>set representative</em>) is one of the sites in the component:
 *  two sites have the same component identifier if and only if they are
 *  in the same component.
 *  <ul>
 *  <li><em>union</em>(<em>p</em>, <em>q</em>) adds a
 *      connection between the two sites <em>p</em> and <em>q</em>.
 *      If <em>p</em> and <em>q</em> are in different components,
 *      then it replaces
 *      these two components with a new component that is the union of
 *      the two.
 *  <li><em>find</em>(<em>p</em>) returns the component
 *      identifier of the component containing <em>p</em>.
 *  <li><em>connected</em>(<em>p</em>, <em>q</em>)
 *      returns true if both <em>p</em> and <em>q</em>
 *      are in the same component, and false otherwise.
 *  <li><em>count</em>() returns the number of components.
 *  </ul>
 *  <p>
 *  The component identifier of a component can change
 *  only when the component itself changes during a call to
 *  <em>union</em>—it cannot change during a call
 *  to <em>find</em>, <em>connected</em>, or <em>count</em>.
 *  <p>
 *  This implementation uses quick union.
 *  Initializing a data structure with <em>n</em> sites takes linear time.
 *  Afterwards, the <em>union</em>, <em>find</em>, and <em>connected</em>
 *  operations  take linear time (in the worst case) and the
 *  <em>count</em> operation takes constant time.
 *  For alternate implementations of the same API, see
 *  {@link UF}, {@link QuickFindUF}, and {@link WeightedQuickUnionUF}.
 *
