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.

In a treap structured with alphabetic keys and numeric priorities, which node will be at the root after inserting the keys A(50), C(30), and B(57)?

B (correct)

None of the above

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),...).
