Math Problem Statement

What would be the array representation of the max-heap after 95 had been inserted (and after necessary percolations have been made)?

Formatting tip: Enclose your answer with [] and separate elements by commas without whitespace, such as [1,2,3].

Solution

To solve this problem, we need to insert the value 95 into the max-heap and then perform the necessary percolations to maintain the heap property.

Initial Max-Heap Representation:

The tree you've provided can be represented as an array in level order as follows: 100,90,80,70,85100, 90, 80, 70, 85

Step 1: Insert 95

When we insert 95, it is initially added as the last element in the array: 100,90,80,70,85,95100, 90, 80, 70, 85, 95

Step 2: Percolate Up

Since 95 is greater than its parent (80), we need to swap them to maintain the max-heap property. After the swap, the array looks like this: 100,90,95,70,85,80100, 90, 95, 70, 85, 80

No further percolation is needed because 95 is less than its new parent (100).

Final Array Representation:

The final array representation of the max-heap after inserting 95 and percolating is: 100,90,95,70,85,80100, 90, 95, 70, 85, 80

This is your answer.
