Binary Heaps and Leftist Trees: Efficient Priority Queue Implementations
A binary heap is a complete binary tree where each node holds a value and satisfies the heap-order property: for every node, its value is no greater (in a min-heapp) or no smaller (in a max-heap) than those of its children. The C++ Standard Library provides std::priority_queue, which implements a binary heap by default — a max-heap unless a cus ...
