Hi, I tried to compile your code, however, it point out that Error: Syntax error on token "public", interface expected after this token. Do you know what's wrong?

Line 1 public class WeightedQuickUnionFind{.......

@madese09 Thanks for pointing out this mistake.

Hi, in unionByHeight(int p, int q) method, while linking the trees, shouldn't we update their heights?

Thanks
