Data Structure - Heap

Min Heap or Max Heap

这篇文章以Min Heap为例

特征：parent<children, 所以root永远是最小的元素

Insertion：goes to the next empty spot and then bubble it up

Remove the min: 1. remove the min
                              2.replace with last node and then bubble down

Array Implementation
        Parent index = (index-1)/2;
        left child index = index*2+1;
        right child index = index*2+2;

 

Priority Queue C++

empty();
size();
top();
push();
pop();
emplace();
swap();
