First,hash all the indexes with same values with distinct integers i.e, if the given array is 1 2 3 2 1 4 2 1 , indexes 1,5,8 will be hashed to 1 , indexe(s) 2,4,7 will be hashed to 2, indexe(s) 3 will be hashed to 3 , indexe(s) 6 will be hashed to 4 and also store their corresponding values ! Now if you want to change index x in the original array to some y , go to the hashed index of x and update its value to y and if you want to query the index x in the original array , go to the hashed index of x and print its value ! I have not submitted the solution for this , just an idea ! My first comment on CF ! Please ignore if there are any mistakes !
Let's see how can we apply disjoint set here.
First initialize the parents of each number from 1 to 100000.
For type 1 operation set the parent of x as y.
For type 2 operation print the parent of a[idx].
