Heaps

Heaps



heap is just what it sounds like — a pile of values organized into a binary tree-like structure adhering to some ordering property. When we add elements to a heap, we fill this tree-like structure from left to right, level by level. This makes heaps really easy to implement in an array, where the value for some index 's left child is located at index  and the value for its right child is at index  (using zero-indexing). Here are the two most fundamental heap operations:
  • add: Insert an element into the heap. You may also see this referred to as push.
  • poll: Retrieve and remove the root element of the heap. You may also see this referred to as pop.

Max Heap

This type heap orders the maximum value at the root.
When we add the values  to a Max heap, it looks like this:maxheap-add.png
When we poll the same Max heap until it's empty, it looks like this:maxheap-poll.png

Min Heap

This type of heap orders the minimum value at the root.
When we add the values  to a Min heap, it looks like this:minheap-add.png
When we poll the same Min heap until it's empty, it looks like this:minheap-poll.png

Example

EXAMPLE
The Java code below implements, fills, and empties a Min Heap and a Max Heap.
