Heaps are arrays for which a[k] <= a[2*k+1] and a[k] <= a[2*k+2] for\n\
|
|
all k, counting elements from 0. For the sake of comparison,\n\

Usage:\n\
|
|
\n\
|
|
heap = [] # creates an empty heap\n\
|
|
heappush(heap, item) # pushes a new item on the heap\n\
|
|
item = heappop(heap) # pops the smallest item from the heap\n\
|
|
item = heap[0] # smallest item on the heap without popping it\n\
|
|
heapify(x) # transforms list into a heap, in-place, in linear time\n\
|
|
item = heapreplace(heap, item) # pops and returns smallest item, and adds\n\
|
|
# new item; the heap size is unchanged\n\

|

|
|
Our API differs from textbook heap algorithms as follows:\n\
|
|
\n\
|
|
- We use 0-based indexing. This makes the relationship between the\n\
|
|
index for a node and the indexes for its children slightly less\n\
|
|
obvious, but is more suitable since Python uses 0-based indexing.\n\
|
|
\n\
|
|
- Our heappop() method returns the smallest item, not the largest.\n\
|
|
\n\
|
|
These two make it possible to view the heap as a regular Python list\n\
|
|
without surprises: heap[0] is the smallest item, and heap.sort()\n\
|
|
maintains the heap invariant!\n");

\n\

Heaps are arrays for which a[k] <= a[2*k+1] and a[k] <= a[2*k+2] for\n\
|
|
all k, counting elements from 0. For the sake of comparison,\n\
|

non-existing elements are considered to be infinite. The interesting\n\
|
|
property of a heap is that a[0] is always its smallest element.\n"
|
|
"\n\
|
|
The strange invariant above is meant to be an efficient memory\n\
|
|
representation for a tournament. The numbers below are `k', not a[k]:\n\
|
|
\n\
|
|
0\n\
|
|
\n\
|
|
1 2\n\
|
|
\n\
|
|
3 4 5 6\n\
|
|
\n\
|
|
7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14\n\
|
|
\n\
|
|
15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30\n\
|
|
\n\
|
|
\n\
|
|
In the tree above, each cell `k' is topping `2*k+1' and `2*k+2'. In\n\
|
|
an usual binary tournament we see in sports, each cell is the winner\n\
|
|
over the two cells it tops, and we can trace the winner down the tree\n\
|
|
to see all opponents s/he had. However, in many computer applications\n\
|
|
of such tournaments, we do not need to trace the history of a winner.\n\
|
|
To be more memory efficient, when a winner is promoted, we try to\n\
|
|
replace it by something else at a lower level, and the rule becomes\n\
|
|
that a cell and the two cells it tops contain three different items,\n\
|
|
but the top cell \"wins\" over the two topped cells.\n"
|
|
"\n\
|
|
If this heap invariant is protected at all time, index 0 is clearly\n\
|
|
the overall winner. The simplest algorithmic way to remove it and\n\
|
|
find the \"next\" winner is to move some loser (let's say cell 30 in the\n\
|
|
diagram above) into the 0 position, and then percolate this new 0 down\n\
|
|
the tree, exchanging values, until the invariant is re-established.\n\
|
|
This is clearly logarithmic on the total number of items in the tree.\n\
|
|
By iterating over all items, you get an O(n ln n) sort.\n"
|
|
"\n\
|
|
A nice feature of this sort is that you can efficiently insert new\n\
|
|
items while the sort is going on, provided that the inserted items are\n\
|
|
not \"better\" than the last 0'th element you extracted. This is\n\
|
|
especially useful in simulation contexts, where the tree holds all\n\
|
|
incoming events, and the \"win\" condition means the smallest scheduled\n\
|
|
time. When an event schedule other events for execution, they are\n\
|
|
scheduled into the future, so they can easily go into the heap. So, a\n\
|
|
heap is a good structure for implementing schedulers (this is what I\n\
|
|
used for my MIDI sequencer :-).\n"
|
|
"\n\
|
|
Various structures for implementing schedulers have been extensively\n\
|
|
studied, and heaps are good for this, as they are reasonably speedy,\n\
|
|
the speed is almost constant, and the worst case is not much different\n\
|
|
than the average case. However, there are other representations which\n\
|
|
are more efficient overall, yet the worst cases might be terrible.\n"
|
|
"\n\
|
|
Heaps are also very useful in big disk sorts. You most probably all\n\
|
|
know that a big sort implies producing \"runs\" (which are pre-sorted\n\
|
|
sequences, which size is usually related to the amount of CPU memory),\n\
|
|
followed by a merging passes for these runs, which merging is often\n\
|
|
very cleverly organised[1]. It is very important that the initial\n\
|
|
sort produces the longest runs possible. Tournaments are a good way\n\
|
|
to that. If, using all the memory available to hold a tournament, you\n\
|
|
replace and percolate items that happen to fit the current run, you'll\n\
|
|
produce runs which are twice the size of the memory for random input,\n\
|
|
and much better for input fuzzily ordered.\n"
|
|
"\n\
|
|
Moreover, if you output the 0'th item on disk and get an input which\n\
|
|
may not fit in the current tournament (because the value \"wins\" over\n\
|
|
the last output value), it cannot fit in the heap, so the size of the\n\
|
|
heap decreases. The freed memory could be cleverly reused immediately\n\
|
|
for progressively building a second heap, which grows at exactly the\n\
|
|
same rate the first heap is melting. When the first heap completely\n\
|
|
vanishes, you switch heaps and start a new run. Clever and quite\n\
|
|
effective!\n\
|
|
\n\
|
|
In a word, heaps are useful memory structures to know. I use them in\n\
|
|
a few applications, and I think it is good to keep a `heap' module\n\
|
|
around. :-)\n"
|
|
"\n\
|
|
--------------------\n\
|
|
[1] The disk balancing algorithms which are current, nowadays, are\n\
|
|
more annoying than clever, and this is a consequence of the seeking\n\
|
|
capabilities of the disks. On devices which cannot seek, like big\n\
|
|
tape drives, the story was quite different, and one had to be very\n\
|
|
clever to ensure (far in advance) that each tape movement will be the\n\
|
|
most effective possible (that is, will best participate at\n\
|
|
\"progressing\" the merge). Some tapes were even able to read\n\
|
|
backwards, and this was also used to avoid the rewinding time.\n\
|
|
Believe me, real good tape sorts were quite spectacular to watch!\n\
|
|
From all times, sorting has always been a Great Art! :-)\n");
