I am learning Algorithms, Part I on coursera.org. I just watched the first lecture then tried to write some code in C#. The class basically stores list of connected numbers. You can add numbers that connected together by calling Union and check if they are connected by calling AreConnected. Code is as follows:public class UnionFind{    private readonly List<HashSet<int>> source;    public static UnionFind Create()    {        return new UnionFind();    }    private UnionFind()    {        this.source = new List<HashSet<int>>();    }    public void Union(int left, int right)    {        var isLeftExist = this.source.FirstOrDefault(o => o.Contains(left));        var isRightExist = this.source.FirstOrDefault(o => o.Contains(right));        if (isLeftExist == null &&            isRightExist == null)        {            var hash = new HashSet<int>();            hash.Add(left);            hash.Add(right);            this.source.Add(hash);        }        else if (isLeftExist != null &&            isRightExist == null)        {            isLeftExist.Add(right);        }        else if (isRightExist != null &&            isLeftExist == null)        {            isRightExist.Add(left);        }        else        {            // found left and right            this.source.Remove(isRightExist);            foreach (var item in isRightExist)            {                isLeftExist.Add(item);            }        }    }    public bool AreConnected(int left, int right)    {        return this.source            .Any(o =>                 o.Contains(left) &&                o.Contains(right));    }To make it easier to understand, this is unit test class.[TestClass]public class UnionFindTests{    [TestMethod]    public void SimpleUnionTest()    {        int left = 10;        int right = 20;        var uf = UnionFind.Create();        uf.Union(left, right);        Assert.IsTrue(uf.AreConnected(left, right));    }    [TestMethod]    public void DuplicateUnionTest()    {        int left = 10;        int right = 10;        var uf = UnionFind.Create();        uf.Union(left, right);        Assert.IsTrue(uf.AreConnected(left, right));    }    [TestMethod]    public void MultipleLinksUnionTest()    {        int left1 = 10;        int left2 = 20;        int left3 = 30;        int right1 = 15;        int right2 = 25;        int right3 = 35;        var uf = UnionFind.Create();        uf.Union(left1, right1);        uf.Union(left2, right2);        uf.Union(left3, right3);        uf.Union(left1, right2);        Assert.IsTrue(uf.AreConnected(left2, right1));    }}UnionFind works find and pass all tests in unit test. The problem is I found method Union has many if-else and I want to get rid of it. Is there a simpler way of implementing Union method?
