CSC 213 – Large Scale Programming

Priority Queue ADT Prioritizes Entry s using their keys For Entry s with equal priorities, order not specified Priority given to each value when added to PQ Normally, the priority not changeable while in PQ Access single Entry : one with the lowest priority Returns Entry using min() or removeMin() Location are imaginary – only smallest matters
3
Heaps Binary-tree based PQ implementation Still structured using parent-child relationship At most 2 children & 1 parent for each node in tree Heaps must also satisfy 2 additional properties Parent at least as important as its children Structure must form a complete binary tree 2 95 67

Legal CompleteBinaryTree ADT which extends BinaryTree Add & remove methods defined plus those inherited For this ADT, trees must maintain specific shape Fill lowest level first, then can start new level below it 2 95 67 Illegal 2 95 7 6

CompleteBinaryTree ADT which extends BinaryTree Add & remove methods defined plus those inherited For this ADT, trees must maintain specific shape Fill lowest level first, then can start new level below it Lowest level must be filled in from left-to-right Legal 2 95 67 Illegal 2 95 67

What Is Purpose of a Heap? Root has critical Entry that we always access Entry at root always has smallest priority in Heap O(1) access time in min() without any real effort CompleteBinaryTree makes insert() easy Create leftmost child on lowest level When a level completes, start next one Useful when:
7
Upheap Insertion may violate heap-order property Upheap immediately after adding new Entry Goes from new node to restore heap’s order Compare priority of node & its parent If out of order, swap node's Entry s Continue upheaping from parent node Stop only when either case occurs: Found properly ordered node & parent Binary tree's root is reached

22
Removing From a Heap removeMin() must kill Entry at heap’s root For a complete tree, must remove last node added How to reconcile these two different demands? Removed node's Entry moved to the root Then remove node from the complete tree Heap's order preserved by going down
23
Downheap Restores heap’s order during removeMin() Downheap work starts at root Swap with smallest child, if at least out-of-order Downheaping continues with old smallest child Stop at leaf or when node is legal

Implementation Excuses upheap & downheap travel height of tree O (log n ) running time for each of these Serves as bound for adding & removing from PQ What drawbacks does heap have? PriorityQueue can be faster using Sequence Only for specific mix of operations, however PriorityQueue using heaps are fastest overall
37
For Next Lecture No weekly assignment this week Instead, spend then time to prepare for midterm Programming project #1 available Tomorrow is 2 nd "check-in" – test cases are due Read discussions of sorts from Chapter 8 How can we sort data using a priority queue? What are the speed differences? Why would it make a difference?
