 | 
| 3 | 
 | 
| 4 | Heaps are arrays for which a[k] <= a[2*k+1] and a[k] <= a[2*k+2] for
 | 
| 5 | all k, counting elements from 0.  For the sake of comparison,
 | 
| 6 | non-existing elements are considered to be infinite.  The interesting
 | 
| 7 | property of a heap is that a[0] is always its smallest element.
 | 
| 8 | 
 | 
| 9 | Usage:
 | 
| 10 | 
 | 
| 11 | heap = []            # creates an empty heap
 | 
| 12 | heappush(heap, item) # pushes a new item on the heap
 | 
| 13 | item = heappop(heap) # pops the smallest item from the heap
 | 
| 14 | item = heap[0]       # smallest item on the heap without popping it
 | 
| 15 | heapify(x)           # transforms list into a heap, in-place, in linear time
 | 
| 16 | item = heapreplace(heap, item) # pops and returns smallest item, and adds
 | 
| 17 |                                # new item; the heap size is unchanged
 | 
| 18 | 
 | 
| 19 | Our API differs from textbook heap algorithms as follows:
 | 
| 20 | 
 | 
| 21 | - We use 0-based indexing.  This makes the relationship between the
 | 
| 22 |   index for a node and the indexes for its children slightly less
 | 
| 23 |   obvious, but is more suitable since Python uses 0-based indexing.
 | 
| 24 | 
 | 
| 25 | - Our heappop() method returns the smallest item, not the largest.
 | 
| 26 | 
 | 
| 27 | These two make it possible to view the heap as a regular Python list
 | 
| 28 | without surprises: heap[0] is the smallest item, and heap.sort()
 | 
| 29 | maintains the heap invariant!

| 36 | [explanation by Francois Pinard]
 | 
| 37 | 
 | 
| 38 | Heaps are arrays for which a[k] <= a[2*k+1] and a[k] <= a[2*k+2] for
 | 
| 39 | all k, counting elements from 0.  For the sake of comparison,
 | 
| 40 | non-existing elements are considered to be infinite.  The interesting
 | 
| 41 | property of a heap is that a[0] is always its smallest element.
 | 
| 42 | 
 | 
| 43 | The strange invariant above is meant to be an efficient memory
 | 
| 44 | representation for a tournament.  The numbers below are `k', not a[k]:
 | 
| 45 | 
 | 
| 46 |                                    0
 | 
| 47 | 
 | 
| 48 |                   1                                 2
 | 
| 49 | 
 | 
| 50 |           3               4                5               6
 | 
| 51 | 
 | 
| 52 |       7       8       9       10      11      12      13      14

 | 
| 55 | 
 | 
| 56 | 
 | 
| 57 | In the tree above, each cell `k' is topping `2*k+1' and `2*k+2'.  In
 | 
| 58 | a usual binary tournament we see in sports, each cell is the winner
 | 
| 59 | over the two cells it tops, and we can trace the winner down the tree
 | 
| 60 | to see all opponents s/he had.  However, in many computer applications
 | 
| 61 | of such tournaments, we do not need to trace the history of a winner.
 | 
| 62 | To be more memory efficient, when a winner is promoted, we try to
 | 
| 63 | replace it by something else at a lower level, and the rule becomes
 | 
| 64 | that a cell and the two cells it tops contain three different items,
 | 
| 65 | but the top cell "wins" over the two topped cells.
 | 
| 66 | 
 | 
| 67 | If this heap invariant is protected at all time, index 0 is clearly
 | 
| 68 | the overall winner.  The simplest algorithmic way to remove it and
 | 
| 69 | find the "next" winner is to move some loser (let's say cell 30 in the
 | 
| 70 | diagram above) into the 0 position, and then percolate this new 0 down
 | 
| 71 | the tree, exchanging values, until the invariant is re-established.
 | 
| 72 | This is clearly logarithmic on the total number of items in the tree.
 | 
| 73 | By iterating over all items, you get an O(n ln n) sort.
 | 
| 74 | 
 | 
| 75 | A nice feature of this sort is that you can efficiently insert new
 | 
| 76 | items while the sort is going on, provided that the inserted items are
 | 
| 77 | not "better" than the last 0'th element you extracted.  This is
 | 
| 78 | especially useful in simulation contexts, where the tree holds all
 | 
| 79 | incoming events, and the "win" condition means the smallest scheduled
 | 
| 80 | time.  When an event schedule other events for execution, they are
 | 
| 81 | scheduled into the future, so they can easily go into the heap.  So, a
 | 
| 82 | heap is a good structure for implementing schedulers (this is what I
 | 
| 83 | used for my MIDI sequencer :-).
 | 
| 84 | 
 | 
| 85 | Various structures for implementing schedulers have been extensively
 | 
| 86 | studied, and heaps are good for this, as they are reasonably speedy,
 | 
| 87 | the speed is almost constant, and the worst case is not much different
 | 
| 88 | than the average case.  However, there are other representations which
 | 
| 89 | are more efficient overall, yet the worst cases might be terrible.
 | 
| 90 | 
 | 
| 91 | Heaps are also very useful in big disk sorts.  You most probably all
 | 
| 92 | know that a big sort implies producing "runs" (which are pre-sorted
 | 
| 93 | sequences, which size is usually related to the amount of CPU memory),
 | 
| 94 | followed by a merging passes for these runs, which merging is often
 | 
| 95 | very cleverly organised[1].  It is very important that the initial
 | 
| 96 | sort produces the longest runs possible.  Tournaments are a good way
 | 
| 97 | to that.  If, using all the memory available to hold a tournament, you
 | 
| 98 | replace and percolate items that happen to fit the current run, you'll
 | 
| 99 | produce runs which are twice the size of the memory for random input,
 | 
| 100 | and much better for input fuzzily ordered.
 | 
| 101 | 
 | 
| 102 | Moreover, if you output the 0'th item on disk and get an input which
 | 
| 103 | may not fit in the current tournament (because the value "wins" over
 | 
| 104 | the last output value), it cannot fit in the heap, so the size of the
 | 
| 105 | heap decreases.  The freed memory could be cleverly reused immediately
 | 
| 106 | for progressively building a second heap, which grows at exactly the
 | 
| 107 | same rate the first heap is melting.  When the first heap completely
 | 
| 108 | vanishes, you switch heaps and start a new run.  Clever and quite
 | 
| 109 | effective!
 | 
| 110 | 
 | 
| 111 | In a word, heaps are useful memory structures to know.  I use them in
 | 
| 112 | a few applications, and I think it is good to keep a `heap' module
 | 
| 113 | around. :-)
 | 
| 114 | 
 | 
| 115 | --------------------
 | 
| 116 | [1] The disk balancing algorithms which are current, nowadays, are
 | 
| 117 | more annoying than clever, and this is a consequence of the seeking
 | 
| 118 | capabilities of the disks.  On devices which cannot seek, like big
 | 
| 119 | tape drives, the story was quite different, and one had to be very
 | 
| 120 | clever to ensure (far in advance) that each tape movement will be the
 | 
| 121 | most effective possible (that is, will best participate at
 | 
| 122 | "progressing" the merge).  Some tapes were even able to read
 | 
| 123 | backwards, and this was also used to avoid the rewinding time.
 | 
| 124 | Believe me, real good tape sorts were quite spectacular to watch!
 | 
| 125 | From all times, sorting has always been a Great Art! :-)
