Raymond Hettinger 8158e84930 Fix erroneous docstring comment. 2004-09-06 07:04:09 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 28224f897a Improve the documented advice on how to best use heapq.heapreplace(). 2004-06-20 09:07:53 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 2e3dfaf707 Install C version of heapq.nsmallest(). 2004-06-13 05:26:33 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger b25aa36f83 Improve the memory performance and speed of heapq.nsmallest() by using
an alternate algorithm when the number of selected items is small
relative to the full iterable.

Raymond Hettinger 33ecffb65a SF patch #969791: Add nlargest() and nsmallest() to heapq. 2004-06-10 05:03:17 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger c46cb2a1a9 * Restore the pure python version of heapq.py.
* Mark the C version as private and only use when available.

Tim Peters 469cdad822 Whitespace normalization. 2002-08-08 20:19:19 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 3c8dd0c6e7 Simplify heapreplace() -- there's no need for an explicit test for
empty heap, since heap[0] raises the appropriate IndexError already.

Tim Peters 6681de2455 _siftup(): __le__ is now the only comparison operator used on array
elements.

Tim Peters 0cd53a6c37 Added new heapreplace(heap, item) function, to pop (and return) the
currently-smallest value, and add item, in one gulp.  See the second
N-Best algorithm in the test suite for a natural use.

Tim Peters 657fe38241 Large code rearrangement to use better algorithms, in the sense of needing
substantially fewer array-element compares.  This is best practice as of
Kntuh Volume 3 Ed 2, and the code is actually simpler this way (although
the key idea may be counter-intuitive at first glance!  breaking out of
a loop early loses when it costs more to try to get out early than getting
out early saves).
Also added a comment block explaining the difference and giving some real
counts; demonstrating that heapify() is more efficient than repeated
heappush(); and emphasizing the obvious point thatlist.sort() is more
efficient if what you really want to do is sort.

Tim Peters aa7d24319e Minor fiddling, including a simple class to implement a heap iterator
in the test file.  I have docs for heapq.heapify ready to check in, but
Jack appears to have left behind a stale lock in the Doc/lib directory.

Tim Peters 28c25527c2 Hmm! I thought I checked this in before! Oh well.
Added new heapify() function, which transforms an arbitrary list into a
heap in linear time; that's a fundamental tool for using heaps in real
life <wink>.

Added heapyify() test.  Added a "less naive" N-best algorithm to the test
suite, and noted that this could actually go much faster (building on
heapify()) if we had max-heaps instead of min-heaps (the iterative method
is appropriate when all the data isn't known in advance, but when it is
known in advance the tradeoffs get murkier).

Guido van Rossum 4b48d6b37c Add a PEP-263-style encoding turd^H^H^H^Hdeclaration, because there's
a c-cedilla in one of the docstrings.

Tim Peters 62abc2f6ce heappop(): Added comments; simplified and sped the code. 2002-08-02 20:09:14 +00:00
Tim Peters a0b3a00bc5 heappop(): Use "while True" instead of "while 1". 2002-08-02 19:45:37 +00:00
Tim Peters d9ea39db84 Don't use true division where int division was intended. For that matter,
don't use division at all.

Guido van Rossum 37c3b2788b Add Kevin O'Connor, author of the heapq code. 2002-08-02 16:50:58 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 0a82438859 Adding the heap queue algorithm, per discussion in python-dev last
week.
