Category: algorithms
Component type: function
Prototype
Sort_heap is an overloaded name; there are actually two sort_heap functions.
template <class RandomAccessIterator>
void sort_heap(RandomAccessIterator first, RandomAccessIterator last);
template <class RandomAccessIterator, class StrictWeakOrdering>
void sort_heap(RandomAccessIterator first, RandomAccessIterator last, StrictWeakOrdering comp);
Description
Sort_heap turns a heap [1] [first, last) into a sorted range. Note that this is not a stable sort: the relative order of equivalent elements is not guaranteed to be preserved.
The two versions of sort_heap differ in how they define whether one element is less than another. The first version compares objects using operator<, and the second compares objects using a function object comp.
Definition
Defined in the standard header algorithm, and in the nonstandard backward-compatibility header algo.h.
Requirements on types
For the first version, the one that takes two arguments:
• RandomAccessIterator is a model of Random Access Iterator.
• RandomAccessIterator is mutable.
• RandomAccessIterator's value type is a model of LessThan Comparable.
• The ordering on objects of RandomAccessIterator's value type is a strict weak ordering, as defined in the LessThan Comparable requirements.
For the second version, the one that takes three arguments:
• RandomAccessIterator is a model of Random Access Iterator.
• RandomAccessIterator is mutable.
• StrictWeakOrdering is a model of Strict Weak Ordering.
• RandomAccessIterator's value type is convertible to StrictWeakOrdering's argument type.
Preconditions
For the first version, the one that takes two arguments:
• [first, last) is a valid range.
• [first, last) is a heap. That is, is_heap(first, last) is true.
For the second version, the one that takes three arguments:
• [first, last) is a valid range.
• [first, last) is a heap. That is, is_heap(first, last, comp) is true.
Complexity
At most N * log(N) comparisons, where N is last – first.
Example
int main() {
int A[] = {1, 4, 2, 8, 5, 7};
const int N = sizeof(A) / sizeof(int);
make_heap(A, A+N);
copy(A, A+N, ostream_iterator<int>(cout, " "));
cout << endl;
sort_heap(A, A+N);
copy(A, A+N, ostream_iterator<int>(cout, " "));
cout << endl;
}
Notes
[1] A heap is a particular way of ordering the elements in a range of Random Access Iterators [f, l). The reason heaps are useful (especially for sorting, or as priority queues) is that they satisfy two important properties. First, *f is the largest element in the heap. Second, it is possible to add an element to a heap (using push_heap ), or to remove *f, in logarithmic time. Internally, a heap is a tree represented as a sequential range. The tree is constructed so that that each node is less than or equal to its parent node.
