Method Detail

addNode

void addNode(HeapNode<K,V> node)

Adds a node to this heap.

Parameters:

node - the node to be added

getMinNode

HeapNode<K,V> getMinNode()

Retrieves and removes the minimum node of this heap. If the heap is empty, null will be returned.

Returns:

the minimum node of this heap, null in case of emptyness

isEmpty

boolean isEmpty()

Indicates wether this heap ist empty.

Returns:

true if this heap is empty, false otherwise

getIndexOf

Integer getIndexOf(V value)

Returns the current index of the specified value in this heap.

Parameters:

value - the value for which the index should be returned

Returns:

the current index of the specified value in this heap

getNodeAt

HeapNode<K,V> getNodeAt(int index)

Returns the node at the specified index.

Parameters:

index - the index of the node to be returned

Returns:

the node at the specified index

flowUp

void flowUp(int index)

Moves up a node at the specified index until it satisfies the heaporder.

Parameters:

index - the index of the node to be moved up.

size

int size()

Returns the size of this heap.

Returns:

the size of this heap
