All Implemented Interfaces:

Buffer, java.util.Collection, PriorityQueue

public final class BinaryHeap

extends java.util.AbstractCollection

implements PriorityQueue, Buffer

Binary heap implementation of PriorityQueue and Buffer.

The removal order of a binary heap is based on either the natural sort order of its elements or a specified Comparator. The remove() method always returns the first element as determined by the sort order. (The isMinHeap flag in the constructors can be used to reverse the sort order, in which case remove() will always remove the last element.) The removal order is not the same as the order of iteration; elements are returned by the iterator in no particular order.

The add(Object) and remove() operations perform in logarithmic time. The get() operation performs in constant time. All other operations perform in linear time or worse.

Note that this implementation is not synchronized. Use BufferUtils.synchronizedBuffer(Buffer) to provide synchronized access to a BinaryHeap:

 Buffer heap = BufferUtils.synchronizedBuffer(new BinaryHeap());

Constructor Detail

BinaryHeap

public BinaryHeap()

Constructs a new minimum binary heap.

BinaryHeap

public BinaryHeap(java.util.Comparator comparator)

Constructs a new BinaryHeap that will use the given comparator to order its elements.

Parameters:

comparator - the comparator used to order the elements, null means use natural order

BinaryHeap

public BinaryHeap(int capacity)

Constructs a new minimum binary heap with the specified initial capacity.

Parameters:

capacity - The initial capacity for the heap. This value must be greater than zero.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if capacity is <= 0

BinaryHeap

public BinaryHeap(int capacity,
                  java.util.Comparator comparator)

Constructs a new BinaryHeap.

Parameters:

capacity - the initial capacity for the heap

comparator - the comparator used to order the elements, null means use natural order

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if capacity is <= 0

BinaryHeap

public BinaryHeap(boolean isMinHeap)

Constructs a new minimum or maximum binary heap

Parameters:

isMinHeap - if true the heap is created as a minimum heap; otherwise, the heap is created as a maximum heap

BinaryHeap

public BinaryHeap(boolean isMinHeap,
                  java.util.Comparator comparator)

Constructs a new BinaryHeap.

Parameters:

isMinHeap - true to use the order imposed by the given comparator; false to reverse that order

comparator - the comparator used to order the elements, null means use natural order

BinaryHeap

public BinaryHeap(int capacity,
                  boolean isMinHeap)

Constructs a new minimum or maximum binary heap with the specified initial capacity.

Parameters:

capacity - the initial capacity for the heap. This value must be greater than zero.

isMinHeap - if true the heap is created as a minimum heap; otherwise, the heap is created as a maximum heap.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if capacity is <= 0

BinaryHeap

public BinaryHeap(int capacity,
                  boolean isMinHeap,
                  java.util.Comparator comparator)

Constructs a new BinaryHeap.

Parameters:

capacity - the initial capacity for the heap

isMinHeap - true to use the order imposed by the given comparator; false to reverse that order

comparator - the comparator used to order the elements, null means use natural order

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if capacity is <= 0

Method Detail
