Mergeable heaps

Description

Implementation of binomial heap, skew heap, leftist heap in C++. Developed as homework for DIHT Algorithms' and Data structures course.

Build

Prerequisites

The library requires

• g++6 or clang 11
• CMake 3.15

Building is nothing special.

    mkdir bin
    cd bin
    cmake ..
    make

Running the tests

Tests are created with google test framework. It will be downloaded and compiled during cmake. Run tests as follows:

    ./bin/RunUnitTests

Usage

Learn by example:

#include "mergeable_heaps/binomial.h"
#include <cassert>

int main() 
    heaps::BinomialHeap<double> first_heap, second_heap(2.71);
    // Or with the same result:
    // heaps::SkewHeap<double> first_heap, second_heap(2.71);
    // heaps::LeftistHeap<double> first_heap, second_heap(2.71);


    first_heap.Insert(3.14);
    second_heap.Insert(second_heap.GetMinimum() * 2.0); // inserting 5.42

    first_heap.Merge(second_heap); // Merging heaps

    assert(first_heap.Size() == 3); // first heap contains { 2.71, 3.14, 5.42 }
    assert(second_heap.Empty()); // second heap was merged to 1st, so empty
    assert(first_heap.GetMinimum() == 2.71);

    first_heap.ExtractMinimum(); // extracting 2.71
    first_heap.ExtractMinimum(); // extracting 3.14

    assert(first_heap.GetMinimum() == 5.42);

    return 0;
}
