Class DataStructures.PairHeap 

java.lang.Object
   |
   +----DataStructures.PairHeap
public class PairHeap
extends Object
implements PriorityQueue
Implements a pairing heap. Supports a decreaseKey operation, but requires use of addItem instead of insert. Heap order is always maintained; no lazy operations allowed. Note that all "matching" is based on the compares method.

Methods

o insert 
  public void insert(Comparable x)
Insert into the priority queue. Duplicates are allowed.

Parameters:
x - the item to insert.
o addItem 
  public PairNode addItem(Comparable x)
Insert into the priority queue, and return a PairNode that can be used by decreaseKey. Duplicates are allowed.

Parameters:
x - the item to insert.
Returns:
the node containing the newly inserted item.
o findMin 
  public Comparable findMin() throws Underflow
Find the smallest item in the priority queue.

Returns:
the smallest item.
Throws: Underflow
if the priority queue is empty.
o deleteMin 
  public Comparable deleteMin() throws Underflow
Remove the smallest item from the priority queue.

Throws: Underflow
if the priority queue is empty.
o decreaseKey 
  public void decreaseKey(PairNode p,
                          Comparable newVal) throws IllegalValue
Change the value of the item stored in the pairing heap.

Parameters:
p - any node returned by addItem.
newVal - the new value, which must be smaller than the currently stored value.
Throws: IllegalValue
if newVal is larger than the currently stored value.
o isEmpty 
  public boolean isEmpty()
Test if the priority queue is logically empty.
