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:
Step 1: Insert 95
When we insert 95
, it is initially added as the last element in the array:
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:
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:
This is your answer.
