Python functions for working with D-ary Heap (Heap with more than 2 child nodes)

Python functions for working with D-ary Heap (Heap with more than 2 child nodes). For more info about this Data Structure Please gothrough: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D-ary_heap

This library provides the below Heap specific functions.

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.
