+/*
+ * Quick Union algorithm
+ *
+ * Slightly better than quickfind
+ *
+ * treats each element in the array as a node in a tree and trees may be
+ * connected together or not. Essentially each element might be its own tree.
+ *
+ * Find: Check if p and q have the same root
+ *
+ * Union. Merge components containing p and q, set the id of p's root to the id
+ * of q's root.
+ *
+ * Still too slow though. Trees can get too tall, where the worst case is a tree
+ * where one element points to a single one until the end of the tree,
+ * essentially creating an array.
