二叉堆的基本原理
Binary Heap isn't mysterious; its properties are even simpler than those of a Binary Search Tree.
The primary operations of a Binary Heap are sink (downward movement) and swim (upward movement), which help maintain the properties of the binary heap.
There are two main applications of a Binary Heap: first, as a very useful data structure called a Priority Queue, and second, as a sorting method known as Heap Sort.
This visualization panel intuitively demonstrates the basic operations of a Binary Heap. You can click to execute the code or modify it yourself for experimentation:
Now, let's use the visualization panel to explain the principles of a Binary Heap. Finally, we'll show the code implementation of a Binary Heap using a priority queue as an example.
