Algorithm to insert element to a max-heap sequentially, Data Structure & Algorithms

Assignment Help:

Q. Write down the algorithm to insert an element to a max-heap which is represented sequentially.

Ans:

The algorithm to insert an element "newkey" to a max heap of size i-1 where i>=1:

s=i;

parent=s div 2;

key[s]=newkey;

while(s<>0 && key[parent]<=key[s])

{

/*interchange parent and child*/

temp=key[parent]; key[parent]=key[s]; key[s]=temp;

s=parent;

parent=s div 2;

}
