title: Heap

# Heap
|
||
A tree
|
||
1. every elements should be greater than ites children
|
||
2. the structure should be filled from top to bottom and left to right
|
||
|
||
To remove
|
||
- remove from the top, replace with the last element
|
||
- to fix the first condition swap the top element with the highest of its children until fixed
|
||
|
||
To Add
|
||
- add to the next position
|
||
- If its larger than its parent then swap them
|
||
|
||
How deep
|
||
- each layer is twice as deep and the preceding one
|
||
- layer k can hold $2^k$ elements
|
||
- to store n elements we use k layers where $k = lg n$
|
||
- so we need ϴ(lg n) layers
|
||
- So any algorithm that 'walk along a branch' in while or in part will have Ο(n) complexity (assuming constant time work at each node) |
