Finding maximum and minimum in union find algorithm

This post is a problem based on union find algorithm. For the algorithm, please see "Weighted Quick Union With Path Compression - Coursera Algorithms"

Problem: Given an element, find the max/min of it's connected components tree.

Following is my, probably brute force, solution to find max/min. For this, we use extra arrays to store the max and min values. We updated the max and min only for root nodes. For all other nodes, just find the root and it's max/min.
