Kruskal’s Algorithm Implementation in Java Homework Help

The goal of this task was to implement Kruskal’s algorithm in Java or Python (Java language was chosen). First of all, to complete the java assignment, our assignment helper had to use the appropriate Java structure for graph representation. Then it was necessary to implement the Kruskal algorithm for search the minimum-spanning-tree of the graph (the graph must be read from the input file) using the approach of disjoint sets. After execution application must output information of found spanning tree and its cost.
