I am trying to use Union and find to count disjoint sets but getting WA on testcase 45. I know this problem can be solved with dfs too but I don't want to use that.

Can somebody explain what's wrong in my code or is my implementation Union and find wrong ?

I am storing given coordinates in a vector of pairs and checking each pair against other if they lie on the same line vertically or horizontally.

If so, I am calling union on them.

Finally I am storing representative of each group in a set to count total number of disjoint sets. And since we need to output the minimum number of points needed to make graph connected, i am outputting (size of — 1).
