Questions and Answers

What is the primary requirement for a node in a treap with respect to its children?

  • The priority of the node must be greater than or equal to its children's priorities. (correct)
  • The priority of the node must be equal to its children's priorities.
  • The priority of the node must be less than its children's priorities.
  • The priority of the node must be randomly generated.

What happens during the insertion of a new key in a treap?

  • The key is added without rotation if the priority is less than the parent.
  • If the new key has a higher priority than its parent, the tree is rotated. (correct)
  • A binary search finds the insert position without needing a priority.
  • Rotations are performed only if the new key has a lower priority than its parent.

Flashcards

Treap

A data structure that combines the properties of a binary search tree and a heap. It maintains the search tree property, where the left subtree contains keys smaller than the root and the right subtree contains keys larger than the root. Additionally, it enforces the heap property, where the priority of a node is greater than or equal to the priorities of its children.

Rotation

The process of rearranging the nodes in a treap to maintain the heap order property after inserting a new node.

Key vs. Priority

In a treap, the key is the value stored in a node that helps in maintaining the search tree property. The priority is a randomly assigned value to each node, used to ensure the heap order property.

Insertion in Treap

The process of inserting a new node into a treap. It involves finding the correct position based on the key and then performing rotations to maintain the heap order property.

Cartesian Tree

A kind of binary search tree where each node's key is assigned a priority, and the tree structure is determined by the heap order property based on these priorities. The root has the highest priority, and each node's priority is greater than or equal to its children's.

Heapify

A process that transforms a binary tree into a heap by maintaining the heap property, which states that a parent node's value must always be greater than or equal to its children's values.

Sift-up

A technique used during heapification, where a node is compared to its children and swapped with the larger (or smaller) child if the heap property is violated. This operation propagates upwards until the heap property is restored.

Heap Property

In a heap, a node's value is always greater than (or less than) the value of its parent. It establishes a hierarchical order based on value.

Extract-Min (or Extract-Max)

During heapsort, the largest (or smallest) element from the heap is repeatedly removed and placed in the correct position in the sorted array.

Complete Binary Tree

In a complete binary tree, all levels except possibly the last are fully filled, and the last level is filled from left to right. This structure is important for enabling efficient heap operations.

Study Notes

Heaps and Sift-Up

  • Sift-Up is a bottom-up, right-to-left process.
  • Used to transform a complete binary tree into a heap.

Example

  • Shows the transformation of a tree into a heap using the sift-up algorithm.
  • Converted a tree of characters into a heap by ordering characters in an array.

Heapsort

  • An algorithm created in 1964.
  • Sorts elements by converting a complete binary tree into a heap.

Example

  • Illustrates the heapsort algorithm, showing the tree at various steps.
  • Converts an unsorted list of numbers into a sorted list using the heapsort algorithm.

Treap

  • A data structure that combines properties of a binary search tree and a heap.
  • Each node in a treap has a numeric priority, assigned randomly.
  • The structure of a treap is determined by satisfying heap-ordering properties
  • The order in which nodes are visited during inorder traversal of the tree is the same as if the keys were ordered.

Seatwork

  • Instructions to create a treap, displaying states after each insertion/rotation.
  • Provides specific key-value pairs (e.g., A(50), C(30), B(57),...).
