heapsort

use heap sort to sort this in descending order and show the steps or explanation please below is the tree

                             79
                       33           57
                    8     25    48

below is the array 79 - 33 - 57 - 8 - 25 - 48 ok ascending is easy because the largest element is at the top we can exchange the last element and the first element and then use heapify as the sample code in wikipedia describes it.

I'm using Ariel Faigon's sort library, found here: http://www.yendor.com/programming/sort/ I was able to get all my code working on Linux, but unfortunately, when trying to compile with GCC on Mac, its default stdlib.h contains another heapsort, which unfortunately results in a conflicting types… >>> More

I was reading the python 2.7 documentation when I came across the heapq module. I was interested in the heapify() and the heappop() methods. So, I decided to write a simple heapsort program for integers: from heapq import heapify, heappop user_input = raw_input("Enter numbers to be sorted: ") data… >>> More

Hello everybody: I tried to implement a "pairing heap" with all the regular operations (merge, delete-min etc.), then I've been requested to write a function that would sort a list using my newly constructed heap implementation. Unfortunately it seems that someting goes wrong... Here's the relevant… >>> More

As an exercise in Haskell, I'm trying to implement heapsort. The heap is usually implemented as an array in imperative languages, but this would be hugely inefficient in purely functional languages. So I've looked at binary heaps, but everything I found so far describes them from an imperative viewpoint… >>> More
