Problem
Given an integer array, heapify it into a min-heap array.
For a heap array A, A[0] is the root of heap, and for each A[i], A[i * 2 + 1] is the left child of A[i] and A[i * 2 + 2] is the right child of A[i].
Clarification
What is heap?
- Heap is a data structure, which usually have three methods: push, pop and top. where “push” add a new element the heap, “pop” delete the minimum/maximum element in the heap, “top” return the minimum/maximum element.
What is heapify?
- Convert an unordered integer array into a heap array. If it is min-heap, for each element A[i], we will get A[i * 2 + 1] >= A[i] and A[i * 2 + 2] >= A[i].
What if there is a lot of solutions?
- Return any of them.
Example
Given [3,2,1,4,5], return [1,2,3,4,5] or any legal heap array.
Solution
class Solution {
public:
/**
* @param A: Given an integer array
* @return: void
*/
void heapify(vector<int> &A) {
for(int i = 1; i < A.size(); i++) {
heapify(A, i);
}
}
void heapify(vector<int> &a, int n) {
int father = (n - 1) / 2;
int current = n;
while (current > 0 && a[current] < a[father]) {
swap(a[current], a[father]);
current = father;
father = (current - 1) / 2;
}
}
};
