130.Heapify

1.Description(Medium)

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.

Challenge

O(n) time complexity

2.Code

Heapify一个Array,也就是对array中的元素进行siftup或者siftdown的操作。根据min heap定义进行操作即可。

这里值得注意的是,对于扫描整个array的情况下,siftup和siftdown有complexity上的区别。

基本的原因在于:

siftdown的complexity,实质上是node相对于bottom移动的次数,而根据binary heap本身的特性,决定了约靠近bottom的node越多;O(n)

相对照的是siftup,是node相对于root节点的移动次数。O(nlogn)

如果Heapify可以用O(n)实现,那么HeapSort所需的时间复杂度为何是O(nlogn)?因为HeapSort其实包含了两个步骤,第一步,Heapify,build (min) heap,所需时间复杂度O(n),第二步,依次删除最小值(min heap),对于Heap来说,删除操作的复杂度是O(logn), 而这个删除需要执行O(n),来得到最终sort的结果,于是总体时间复杂度是O(nlogn)。

Version 1: Sift Up --O(nlogn)

Version 2: Sift Down --O(n)
