Merging tables done!
Another interesting problem to solve. I gained a much better understanding of disjoint sets (aka Union/Find) through the coding challenge. A few takeaways: 1. Writing test cases is so important. I can sink my teeth into it and have something concrete to work on, instead of wasting time beating around the bush; 2. Modify starter code to make it testable, if it's not easy to test to begin with; 3. Get started early, so I can use my "sleep on it" technique. It really improves understanding! 4. I'm slightly bothered by the fact that I don't have a test case to catch the issue with grader test case 8. I looked at the code and added line 61 which enabled me to pass the grader.
