heap

Illustrates how to use the heap Standard Template Library (STL) functions in Visual C++.

template<class RandomAccessIterator> inline
   void make_heap(
      RandomAccessIterator First,
      RandomAccessIterator Last
   )
template<class RandomAccessIterator> inline
   void sort_heap(
      RandomAccessIterator First,
      RandomAccessIterator Last
   )
template<class RandomAccessIterator> inline
   void push_heap(
      RandomAccessIterator First,
      RandomAccessIterator Last
   )
template<class RandomAccessIterator> inline
   void pop_heap(
      RandomAccessIterator First,
      RandomAccessIterator Last
   )

Remarks

Observação

The class/parameter names in the prototype do not match the version in the header file. Some have been modified to improve readability.

A heap is a sequence of elements organized like a binary tree. Each heap element corresponds to a tree node. The first value in the sequence [First..Last) is the root and is the largest value in the heap. Every element in the heap satisfies the following: Every element is less than or equal to its parent. The largest element is stored in the root, and all children hold progressively smaller values. The make_heap function converts the range [First..Last) into a heap. The sort_heap function sorts a sequence that was created using the make_heap function. The push_heap function inserts a new value into the heap. The pop_heap function swaps the first and last elements in the heap specified by [First, Last), and then reduces the length of the sequence by one before restoring the heap property. The nonpredicate versions of the heap functions use operator< for comparisons.

Example

// heapfunc.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
// 
// Functions:
//    make_heap : convert a sequence to a heap
//    sort_heap : sort a heap
//    push_heap : insert an element in a heap
//    pop_heap  : remove the top element from a heap

Output

Numbers { 4 10 70 10 30 69 96 100  }

After calling make_heap

Numbers { 100 30 96 10 4 69 70 10  }

After calling sort_heap

Numbers { 4 10 10 30 69 70 96 100  }

After calling push_heap and make_heap

Numbers { 100 69 96 30 4 70 10 10 7  }

After calling pop_heap

Numbers { 96 69 70 30 4 7 10 10 100  }
