Study Notes
Heaps
- A heap is a complete binary tree where each parent node's value is either higher or lower than its child nodes.
- Two types of heaps:
- Min Heap: Parent node value is less than or equal to child node values.
- Max Heap: Parent node value is greater than or equal to child node values.
- Heaps in Java use
ArrayListfrom thejava.utilpackage. - To create a heap with initial values, use
addAll()method ofCollectionsclass. - Root node is at index 0; child nodes at indices 1 and 2, and so on.
- Access root node using
get(0)method.
Priority Queues
-
Priority queues process elements based on their order (natural or custom).
-
Implemented in Java using
PriorityQueueclass fromjava.utilpackage. -
Enqueue using
add()oroffer(). -
Dequeue using
poll(). -
Comparator interface creates specific ordering for collections of objects.
-
Uses
comparing(),comparingInt(), andcompare()methods to compare objects for ordering in the queue.
