/** * Min Heap is one of the two Binary Heap types (the other is Max Heap) * which maintains the smallest value of its input array on top and remaining values in loosely (but not perfectly sorted) order. * * Min Heaps can be expressed as a 'complete' binary tree structure * (in which all levels of the binary tree are filled, with the exception of the last level which must be filled left-to-right). * * However the Min Heap class below expresses this tree structure as an array * which represent the binary tree node values in an array ordered from root-to-leaf, left-to-right. * * In the array representation, the parent node-child node relationship is such that the * * parent index relative to its two children are: (parentIdx * 2) and (parent * 2 + 1) * * and either child's index position relative to its parent is: Math.floor((childIdx-1)/2) * * The parent and respective child values define much of heap behavior as we continue to sort or not sort depending on their values. * * The parent value must be less than or equal to either child's value. * * This is a condensed overview but for more information and visuals here is a nice read: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/binary-heap/ */ class MinHeap { constructor (array) { this.heap = this.initializeHeap(array) } /** * startingParent represents the parent of the last index (=== array.length-1) * and iterates towards 0 with all index values below sorted to meet heap conditions */ initializeHeap (array) { const startingParent = Math.floor((array.length - 2) / 2) for (let currIdx = startingParent; currIdx >= 0; currIdx--) { this.sinkDown(currIdx, array.length - 1, array) } return array } /** * overall functionality: heap-sort value at a starting index (currIdx) towards end of heap * * currIdx is considered to be a starting 'parent' index of two children indices (childOneIdx, childTwoIdx). * endIdx represents the last valid index in the heap. * * first check that childOneIdx and childTwoIdx are both smaller than endIdx * and check for the smaller heap value between them. * * the child index with the smaller heap value is set to a variable called swapIdx. * * swapIdx's value will be compared to currIdx (the 'parent' index) * and if swapIdx's value is smaller than currIdx's value, swap the values in the heap, * update currIdx and recalculate the new childOneIdx to check heap conditions again. * * if there is no swap, it means the children indices and the parent index satisfy heap conditions and can exit the function. */ sinkDown (currIdx, endIdx, heap) { let childOneIdx = currIdx * 2 + 1 while (childOneIdx <= endIdx) { const childTwoIdx = childOneIdx + 1 <= endIdx ? childOneIdx + 1 : -1 const swapIdx = childTwoIdx !== -1 && heap[childTwoIdx] < heap[childOneIdx] ? childTwoIdx : childOneIdx if (heap[swapIdx] < heap[currIdx]) { this.swap(currIdx, swapIdx, heap) currIdx = swapIdx childOneIdx = currIdx * 2 + 1 } else { return } } } /** * overall functionality: heap-sort value at a starting index (currIdx) towards front of heap. * * while the currIdx's value is smaller than its parent's (parentIdx) value, swap the values in the heap * update currIdx and recalculate the new parentIdx to check heap condition again. * * iteration does not end while a valid currIdx has a value smaller than its parentIdx's value */ bubbleUp (currIdx) { let parentIdx = Math.floor((currIdx - 1) / 2) while (currIdx > 0 && this.heap[currIdx] < this.heap[parentIdx]) { this.swap(currIdx, parentIdx, this.heap) currIdx = parentIdx parentIdx = Math.floor((currIdx - 1) / 2) } } peek () { return this.heap[0] } /** * the min heap value should be the first value in the heap (=== this.heap[0]) * * firstIdx value and lastIdx value are swapped * the resulting min heap value now resides at heap[heap.length-1] which is popped and later returned. * * the remaining values in the heap are re-sorted */ extractMin () { this.swap(0, this.heap.length - 1, this.heap) const min = this.heap.pop() this.sinkDown(0, this.heap.length - 1, this.heap) return min } // a new value is pushed to the end of the heap and sorted up insert (value) { this.heap.push(value) this.bubbleUp(this.heap.length - 1) } // index-swapping helper method swap (idx1, idx2, heap) { const temp = heap[idx1] heap[idx1] = heap[idx2] heap[idx2] = temp } } export { MinHeap }
