when a heap is used to implement a priority queue
1Priority queue — A priority queue is an abstract data type in computer programming. It is exactly like a regular queue or stack data structure, but additionally, each element is associated with a priority . stack: elements are pulled in last in first out order (e …
2Binary heap — Example of a complete binary max heap Example of a complete binary min heap A binary …
3Double-ended queue — Not to be confused with Double ended priority queue. In computer science, a double ended queue (dequeue, often abbreviated to deque, pronounced deck) is an abstract data structure that implements a queue for which elements can only be added to or …
4Dijkstra's algorithm — Not to be confused with Dykstra s projection algorithm. Dijkstra s algorithm Dijkstra s algorithm runtime Class Search algorithm Data structure Graph Worst case performance …
5Comparison of C Sharp and Java — The correct title of this article is Comparison of C# and Java. The substitution or omission of the # sign is because of technical restrictions. Programming language comparisons General comparison Basic syntax Basic instructions …
6Linked list — In computer science, a linked list is a data structure consisting of a group of nodes which together represent a sequence. Under the simplest form, each node is composed of a datum and a reference (in other words, a link) to the next node in the… …
7Hash table — Not to be confused with Hash list or Hash tree. Unordered map redirects here. For the proposed C++ class, see unordered map (C++). Hash Table Type unsorted dictionary Invented 1953 Time complexity in big O notation Average Worst case Space …
8Circular buffer — A ring showing, conceptually, a circular buffer. This visually shows that the buffer has no real end and it can loop around the buffer. However, since memory is never physically created as a ring, a linear representation is generally used as is… …
9Associative array — In computer science, an associative array (also called a map or a dictionary) is an abstract data type composed of a collection of (key,value) pairs, such that each possible key appears at most once in the collection. Operations associated with… …
10Dynamic array — Several values are inserted at the end of a dynamic array using geometric expansion. Grey cells indicate space reserved for expansion. Most insertions are fast (constant time), while some are slow due to the need for reallocation (Θ(n) time,… …
