# (lispkit disjoint-set)
Library `(lispkit disjoint-set)` implements disjoint sets, a mutable union-find data structure that tracks a set of elements partitioned into disjoint subsets. Disjoint sets are based on hashtables and require the definition of an equality and a hash function.
**disjoint-set-type-tag** 
Symbol representing the `disjoint-set` type. The `type-for` procedure of library `(lispkit type)` returns this symbol for all disjoint set objects.
**(disjoint-set? \_obj**\_**)** 
Returns `#t` if *obj* is a disjoint set object; otherwise `#f` is returned.
**(make-eq-disjoint-set)**
Returns a new empty disjoint set using `eq` as equality and `eq-hash` as hash function.
**(make-eqv-disjoint-set)**
Returns a new empty disjoint set using `eqv` as equality and `eqv-hash` as hash function.
**(make-disjoint-set *****comparator)*** \
\&#xNAN;**(make-disjoint-set *****hash eql*****)**
Returns a new empty disjoint set using *eql* as equality and *hash* as hash function. Instead of providing two functions, a new disjoint set can also be created based on a *comparator*.
**(disjoint-set-make *****dset x*****)**
Adds a new singleton set *x* to *dset* if element *x* does not exist already in disjoint set *dset*.
**(disjoint-set-find *****dset x)*** \
\&#xNAN;**(disjoint-set-find *****dset x default*****)**
Looks up element *x* in *dset* and returns the set in which *x* is currently contained. Returns *default* if element *x* is not found. If *default* is not provided, `disjoint-set-find` uses `#f` instead.
**(disjoint-set-union *****dset x y*****)**
Unifies the sets containing *x* and *y* in disjoint set *dset*.
**(disjoint-set-size *****dset*****)**
Returns the number of sets in *dset*.

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:
```
GET https://www.lisppad.app/libraries/lispkit/lispkit-disjoint-set.md?ask=
```
The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
