# 1.0.0[−][src]Struct alloc::collections::binary_heap::BinaryHeap

    pub struct BinaryHeap<T> { /* fields omitted */ }

A priority queue implemented with a binary heap.

This will be a max-heap.

It is a logic error for an item to be modified in such a way that the item's ordering relative to any other item, as determined by the `Ord` trait, changes while it is in the heap. This is normally only possible through `Cell`, `RefCell`, global state, I/O, or unsafe code.

# Examples

    use std::collections::BinaryHeap;

    // Type inference lets us omit an explicit type signature (which
    // would be `BinaryHeap<i32>` in this example).
    let mut heap = BinaryHeap::new();

    // We can use peek to look at the next item in the heap. In this case,
    // there's no items in there yet so we get None.
    assert_eq!(heap.peek(), None);

    // Let's add some scores...
    heap.push(1);
    heap.push(5);
    heap.push(2);

    // Now peek shows the most important item in the heap.
    assert_eq!(heap.peek(), Some(&5));

    // We can check the length of a heap.
    assert_eq!(heap.len(), 3);

    // We can iterate over the items in the heap, although they are returned in
    // a random order.
    for x in &heap {
        println!("{}", x);
    }

    // If we instead pop these scores, they should come back in order.
    assert_eq!(heap.pop(), Some(5));
    assert_eq!(heap.pop(), Some(2));
    assert_eq!(heap.pop(), Some(1));
    assert_eq!(heap.pop(), None);

    // We can clear the heap of any remaining items.
    heap.clear();

    // The heap should now be empty.
    assert!(heap.is_empty())

## Methods

###

`impl<T: Ord> BinaryHeap<T>`

[src]

####

`pub fn new() -> BinaryHeap<T>`

[src]

Creates an empty `BinaryHeap` as a max-heap.

# Examples

Basic usage:

    use std::collections::BinaryHeap;
    let mut heap = BinaryHeap::new();
    heap.push(4);

####

`pub fn with_capacity(capacity: usize) -> BinaryHeap<T>`

[src]

Creates an empty `BinaryHeap` with a specific capacity. This preallocates enough memory for `capacity` elements, so that the `BinaryHeap` does not have to be reallocated until it contains at least that many values.

# Examples

Basic usage:

    use std::collections::BinaryHeap;
    let mut heap = BinaryHeap::with_capacity(10);
    heap.push(4);

ⓘImportant traits for Iter<'a, T>

### Important traits for Iter<'a, T>

`impl<'a, T> Iterator for Iter<'a, T> type Item = &'a T;`

`pub fn iter(&self) -> Iter<T>`

[src]

Returns an iterator visiting all values in the underlying vector, in arbitrary order.

# Examples

Basic usage:

    use std::collections::BinaryHeap;
    let heap = BinaryHeap::from(vec![1, 2, 3, 4]);

    // Print 1, 2, 3, 4 in arbitrary order
    for x in heap.iter() {
        println!("{}", x);
    }

####

`pub fn peek(&self) -> Option<&T>`

[src]

Returns the greatest item in the binary heap, or `None` if it is empty.

# Examples

Basic usage:

    use std::collections::BinaryHeap;
    let mut heap = BinaryHeap::new();
    assert_eq!(heap.peek(), None);

    heap.push(1);
    heap.push(5);
    heap.push(2);
    assert_eq!(heap.peek(), Some(&5));

####

`pub fn peek_mut(&mut self) -> Option<PeekMut<T>>`

1.12.0
[src]

Returns a mutable reference to the greatest item in the binary heap, or `None` if it is empty.

Note: If the `PeekMut` value is leaked, the heap may be in an inconsistent state.

# Examples

Basic usage:

    use std::collections::BinaryHeap;
    let mut heap = BinaryHeap::new();
    assert!(heap.peek_mut().is_none());

    heap.push(1);
    heap.push(5);
    heap.push(2);
    {
        let mut val = heap.peek_mut().unwrap();
        *val = 0;
    }
    assert_eq!(heap.peek(), Some(&2));

####

`pub fn capacity(&self) -> usize`

[src]

Returns the number of elements the binary heap can hold without reallocating.

# Examples

Basic usage:

    use std::collections::BinaryHeap;
    let mut heap = BinaryHeap::with_capacity(100);
    assert!(heap.capacity() >= 100);
    heap.push(4);

####

`pub fn reserve_exact(&mut self, additional: usize)`

[src]

Reserves the minimum capacity for exactly `additional` more elements to be inserted in the given `BinaryHeap`. Does nothing if the capacity is already sufficient.

Note that the allocator may give the collection more space than it requests. Therefore capacity can not be relied upon to be precisely minimal. Prefer `reserve` if future insertions are expected.

# Panics

Panics if the new capacity overflows `usize`.

# Examples

Basic usage:

    use std::collections::BinaryHeap;
    let mut heap = BinaryHeap::new();
    heap.reserve_exact(100);
    assert!(heap.capacity() >= 100);
    heap.push(4);

####

`pub fn reserve(&mut self, additional: usize)`

[src]

Reserves capacity for at least `additional` more elements to be inserted in the `BinaryHeap`. The collection may reserve more space to avoid frequent reallocations.

# Panics

Panics if the new capacity overflows `usize`.

# Examples

Basic usage:

    use std::collections::BinaryHeap;
    let mut heap = BinaryHeap::new();
    heap.reserve(100);
    assert!(heap.capacity() >= 100);
    heap.push(4);

####

`pub fn shrink_to_fit(&mut self)`

[src]

Discards as much additional capacity as possible.

# Examples

Basic usage:

    use std::collections::BinaryHeap;
    let mut heap: BinaryHeap<i32> = BinaryHeap::with_capacity(100);

    assert!(heap.capacity() >= 100);
    heap.shrink_to_fit();
    assert!(heap.capacity() == 0);

####

`pub fn shrink_to(&mut self, min_capacity: usize)`

[src]

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (`shrink_to`)

new API

Discards capacity with a lower bound.

The capacity will remain at least as large as both the length and the supplied value.

Panics if the current capacity is smaller than the supplied minimum capacity.

# Examples

    #![feature(shrink_to)]
    use std::collections::BinaryHeap;
    let mut heap: BinaryHeap<i32> = BinaryHeap::with_capacity(100);

    assert!(heap.capacity() >= 100);
    heap.shrink_to(10);
    assert!(heap.capacity() >= 10);

####

`pub fn pop(&mut self) -> Option<T>`

[src]

Removes the greatest item from the binary heap and returns it, or `None` if it is empty.

# Examples

Basic usage:

    use std::collections::BinaryHeap;
    let mut heap = BinaryHeap::from(vec![1, 3]);

    assert_eq!(heap.pop(), Some(3));
    assert_eq!(heap.pop(), Some(1));
    assert_eq!(heap.pop(), None);

####

`pub fn push(&mut self, item: T)`

[src]

Pushes an item onto the binary heap.

# Examples

Basic usage:

    use std::collections::BinaryHeap;
    let mut heap = BinaryHeap::new();
    heap.push(3);
    heap.push(5);
    heap.push(1);

    assert_eq!(heap.len(), 3);
    assert_eq!(heap.peek(), Some(&5));

####

`pub fn into_vec(self) -> Vec<T>`

1.5.0
[src]

Consumes the `BinaryHeap` and returns the underlying vector in arbitrary order.

# Examples

Basic usage:

    use std::collections::BinaryHeap;
    let heap = BinaryHeap::from(vec![1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]);
    let vec = heap.into_vec();

    // Will print in some order
    for x in vec {
        println!("{}", x);
    }

####

`pub fn into_sorted_vec(self) -> Vec<T>`

1.5.0
[src]

Consumes the `BinaryHeap` and returns a vector in sorted (ascending) order.

# Examples

    heap.push(6);
    heap.push(3);

    let vec = heap.into_sorted_vec();
    assert_eq!(vec, [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]);

####

`pub fn len(&self) -> usize`

[src]

Returns the length of the binary heap.

# Examples

[src]

Checks if the binary heap is empty.

# Examples

Basic usage:

    use std::collections::BinaryHeap;
    let mut heap = BinaryHeap::new();

    assert!(heap.is_empty());

    heap.push(3);
    heap.push(5);
    heap.push(1);

    assert!(!heap.is_empty());

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g. `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g. `vec -> usize` or `* -> vec`)

Search multiple things at once by splitting your query with comma (e.g. `str,u8` or `String,struct:Vec,test`)
