NAMEsort_heap
- Converts a heap into a sorted collection.
SYNOPSIS
#include <algorithm>
template <class RandomAccessIterator>
void
sort_heap(RandomAccessIterator first,
RandomAccessIterator last);
template <class RandomAccessIterator, class Compare>
void
sort_heap(RandomAccessIterator first,
RandomAccessIterator last, Compare comp);
DESCRIPTION
A heap is a particular organization of elements in a range between two
random access iterators [a, b). Its two key properties are:
1. *a is the largest element in the range.
2. *a may be removed by pop_heap() or a new element may be added by
push_heap(), in O(logN) time.
These properties make heaps useful as priority queues.
The sort_heap algorithm converts a heap into a sorted collection over
the range [first, last) using either the default operator (<) or the
comparison function supplied with the algorithm. Note that sort_heap is
not stable (in other words, the elements may not be in the same rela‐
tive order after sort_heap is applied).
COMPLEXITYsort_heap performs at most NlogN comparisons, where N is equal to last
- first.
EXAMPLE
//
// heap_ops.cpp
//
#include <algorithm>
#include <vector>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main(void)
{
int d1[4] = {1,2,3,4};
int d2[4] = {1,3,2,4};
// Set up two vectors
vector<int> v1(d1+0,d1 + 4), v2(d2+0,d2 + 4);
// Make heaps
make_heap(v1.begin(),v1.end());
make_heap(v2.begin(),v2.end(),less<int>());
// v1 = (4,x,y,z) and v2 = (4,x,y,z)
// Note that x, y and z represent the remaining
// values in the container (other than 4).
// The definition of the heap and heap operations
// does not require any particular ordering
// of these values.
// Copy both vectors to cout
ostream_iterator<int,char> out(cout," ");
copy(v1.begin(),v1.end(),out);
cout << endl;
copy(v2.begin(),v2.end(),out);
cout << endl;
// Now let's pop
pop_heap(v1.begin(),v1.end());
pop_heap(v2.begin(),v2.end(),less<int>());
// v1 = (3,x,y,4) and v2 = (3,x,y,4)
// Copy both vectors to cout
copy(v1.begin(),v1.end(),out);
cout << endl;
copy(v2.begin(),v2.end(),out);
cout << endl;
// And push
push_heap(v1.begin(),v1.end());
push_heap(v2.begin(),v2.end(),less<int>());
// v1 = (4,x,y,z) and v2 = (4,x,y,z)
// Copy both vectors to cout
copy(v1.begin(),v1.end(),out);
cout <;< endl;
copy(v2.begin(),v2.end(),out);
cout <;< endl;
// Now sort those heaps
sort_heap(v1.begin(),v1.end());
sort_heap(v2.begin(),v2.end(),less<int>());
// v1 = v2 = (1,2,3,4)
// Copy both vectors to cout
copy(v1.begin(),v1.end(),out);
cout <;< endl;
copy(v2.begin(),v2.end(),out);
cout <;< endl;
return 0;
}

If your compiler does not support default template parameters, then you
always need to supply the Allocator template argument. For instance,
you need to write:
vector<int, allocator<int> >
instead of:
vector<int>
If your compiler does not support namespaces, then you do not need the
using declaration for std.
