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

 | |
| all k, counting elements from 0.  For the sake of comparison,\n\

 | |
| The strange invariant above is meant to be an efficient memory\n\
 | |
| representation for a tournament.  The numbers below are `k', not a[k]:\n\
 | |
| \n\
 | |
|                                    0\n\

|           3               4                5               6\n\

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