Find Connected Graph Components
Model the frog's jumping network from the lily leaf density. Version 11 introduces ConnectedGraphComponents and WeaklyConnectedGraphComponents functions for network connectivity analysis.
A frog in a lily pond is able to jump 1.5 feet to get from one of the 25 lily pads to another.
