| heappush(heap, item) # pushes a new item on the heap\n\ |
| item = heappop(heap) # pops the smallest item from the heap\n\ |

| Our API differs from textbook heap algorithms as follows:\n\ |
| \n\ |
| - We use 0-based indexing. This makes the relationship between the\n\ |
| index for a node and the indexes for its children slightly less\n\ |
| obvious, but is more suitable since Python uses 0-based indexing.\n\ |
| \n\ |
| - Our heappop() method returns the smallest item, not the largest.\n\ |
| \n\ |
| These two make it possible to view the heap as a regular Python list\n\ |
| without surprises: heap[0] is the smallest item, and heap.sort()\n\ |
| maintains the heap invariant!\n"); |

| \n\ |
| [explanation by Fran\xc3\xa7ois Pinard]\n\ |
| \n\ |
| Heaps are arrays for which a[k] <= a[2*k+1] and a[k] <= a[2*k+2] for\n\ |
| all k, counting elements from 0. For the sake of comparison,\n\ |
| non-existing elements are considered to be infinite. The interesting\n\ |
| property of a heap is that a[0] is always its smallest element.\n" |
| "\n\ |
| The strange invariant above is meant to be an efficient memory\n\ |
| representation for a tournament. The numbers below are `k', not a[k]:\n\ |
| \n\ |
| 0\n\ |
| \n\ |
| 1 2\n\ |
| \n\ |
| 3 4 5 6\n\ |
| \n\ |
| 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14\n\ |
| \n\ |
| 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30\n\ |
| \n\ |
| \n\ |
| In the tree above, each cell `k' is topping `2*k+1' and `2*k+2'. In\n\ |
| a usual binary tournament we see in sports, each cell is the winner\n\ |
| over the two cells it tops, and we can trace the winner down the tree\n\ |
| to see all opponents s/he had. However, in many computer applications\n\ |
| of such tournaments, we do not need to trace the history of a winner.\n\ |
| To be more memory efficient, when a winner is promoted, we try to\n\ |
| replace it by something else at a lower level, and the rule becomes\n\ |
| that a cell and the two cells it tops contain three different items,\n\ |
| but the top cell \"wins\" over the two topped cells.\n" |
| "\n\ |
| If this heap invariant is protected at all time, index 0 is clearly\n\ |
| the overall winner. The simplest algorithmic way to remove it and\n\ |
| find the \"next\" winner is to move some loser (let's say cell 30 in the\n\ |
| diagram above) into the 0 position, and then percolate this new 0 down\n\ |
| the tree, exchanging values, until the invariant is re-established.\n\ |
| This is clearly logarithmic on the total number of items in the tree.\n\ |
| By iterating over all items, you get an O(n ln n) sort.\n" |
| "\n\ |
| A nice feature of this sort is that you can efficiently insert new\n\ |
| items while the sort is going on, provided that the inserted items are\n\ |
| not \"better\" than the last 0'th element you extracted. This is\n\ |
| especially useful in simulation contexts, where the tree holds all\n\ |
| incoming events, and the \"win\" condition means the smallest scheduled\n\ |
| time. When an event schedule other events for execution, they are\n\ |
| scheduled into the future, so they can easily go into the heap. So, a\n\ |
| heap is a good structure for implementing schedulers (this is what I\n\ |
| used for my MIDI sequencer :-).\n" |
| "\n\ |
| Various structures for implementing schedulers have been extensively\n\ |
| studied, and heaps are good for this, as they are reasonably speedy,\n\ |
| the speed is almost constant, and the worst case is not much different\n\ |
| than the average case. However, there are other representations which\n\ |
| are more efficient overall, yet the worst cases might be terrible.\n" |
| "\n\ |
| Heaps are also very useful in big disk sorts. You most probably all\n\ |
| know that a big sort implies producing \"runs\" (which are pre-sorted\n\ |
| sequences, which size is usually related to the amount of CPU memory),\n\ |
| followed by a merging passes for these runs, which merging is often\n\ |
| very cleverly organised[1]. It is very important that the initial\n\ |
| sort produces the longest runs possible. Tournaments are a good way\n\ |
| to that. If, using all the memory available to hold a tournament, you\n\ |
| replace and percolate items that happen to fit the current run, you'll\n\ |
| produce runs which are twice the size of the memory for random input,\n\ |
| and much better for input fuzzily ordered.\n" |
| "\n\ |
| Moreover, if you output the 0'th item on disk and get an input which\n\ |
| may not fit in the current tournament (because the value \"wins\" over\n\ |
| the last output value), it cannot fit in the heap, so the size of the\n\ |
| heap decreases. The freed memory could be cleverly reused immediately\n\ |

| most effective possible (that is, will best participate at\n\ |
| \"progressing\" the merge). Some tapes were even able to read\n\ |
