binary-heap 1.0.4

Python functions for working with Binary Heap

Python library which helps in forming Binary Heaps (Min, Max) using list data structure. This library provides the below Heap specific functions.

heap_sort

Sort the given list of elements using Heap Sort Algorithm

heapify

Convert list of elements to Heap data structure (MinHeap/MaxHeap)

add_element

Add single/list of elements to Heap

get_root_value

Returns root value of the Heap without removing the element Minimum value for Min Heap, Maximum value for Max Heap

extract_root

Extract root element from Heap and reform the Heap

search_value

Searches the value in heap and returns index. if same element is present multiple times, first occurring index is returned

delete_element_at_index

Remove the element at the specified index and reform the Heap

For example function invocations, plesae see the tutorial.

Tutorial

1. Heap Sort (Sort the list using heap sort algorithm)

>>>
>>> from binary_heap import heap_sort
>>>
>>> data = [4, 1, 3, 2, 16, 9, 10, 14, 8, 7]
>>>
>>> heap_sort(data)  # Returns sorted list in ascending order
[1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 10, 14, 16]
>>>
>>> heap_sort(data, reverse=True)  # Returns sorted list in decsnding order
[16, 14, 10, 9, 8, 7, 4, 3, 2, 1]
>>>

2. Min Heap (Heap where the data in parent node is lesser than the data in child node)

>>>
>>> from binary_heap import MinHeap
>>>
>>> min_heap = MinHeap([4, 3, 6, 8, 11])  # Create an object for Min Heap
>>>
>>> min_heap.length()  # Returns size of the heap
5
>>> min_heap.elements()
[3, 4, 6, 8, 11]
>>>
>>> min_heap.add_element(1)  # Add a single element to Heap
>>>
>>> min_heap.elements()
[1, 4, 3, 8, 11, 6]
>>>
>>> min_heap.add_element([1, 14, 7, 5])  # Add list of elements to Heap
>>>
>>> min_heap.elements()
[1, 4, 1, 7, 5, 6, 3, 14, 8, 11]
>>>
>>> min_heap.extract_root()  # Extract root element from Heap and retrun it. In this case its the minimum element
1
>>>
>>> min_heap.elements()
[1, 4, 3, 7, 5, 6, 11, 14, 8]
>>>
>>> min_heap.get_root_value()  # Returns the root value (minimum value) without removing it from Heap
1
>>>
>>> min_heap.search_value(value=5)  # Returns index of the searched value. -1 if there is no such value in Heap
4
>>> min_heap.search_value(value=7)
3
>>> min_heap.search_value(value=16)
-1
>>>
>>> min_heap.delete_element_at_index(3)  # Remove the element at the specified index
>>>
>>> min_heap.elements()
[1, 4, 3, 8, 5, 6, 11, 14]
>>>

3. Max Heap (Heap where the data in parent node is greater than the data in child node)

>>>
>>> from binary_heap import MaxHeap
>>>
>>> max_heap = MaxHeap([4, 3, 6, 8, 11])  # Create an object for Max Heap
>>>
>>> max_heap.elements()  # Returns size of the heap
[11, 8, 6, 4, 3]
>>>
>>> max_heap.add_element(13)  # Add a single element to Heap
>>>
>>> max_heap.elements()
[13, 8, 11, 4, 3, 6]
>>>
>>> max_heap.add_element([1, 14, 7, 5])  # Add list of elements to Heap
>>>
>>> max_heap.elements()
[14, 13, 11, 8, 5, 6, 1, 4, 7, 3]
>>>
>>> max_heap.extract_root()  # Extract root element from Heap and retrun it. In this case its the maximum element
14
>>>
>>> max_heap.elements()
[13, 8, 11, 7, 5, 6, 1, 4, 3]
>>>
>>> max_heap.get_root_value()  # Returns the root value (maximum value) without removing it from Heap
