5 // Package heap provides heap operations for any type that implements
6 // heap.Interface. A heap is a tree with the property that each node is the
7 // highest-valued node in its subtree.
8 //
9 // A heap is a common way to implement a priority queue. To build a priority
10 // queue, implement the Heap interface with the (negative) priority as the
11 // ordering for the Less method, so Push adds items while Pop removes the
12 // highest-priority item from the queue. The Examples include such an
13 // implementation; the file example_test.go has the complete source.

20 // min-heap with the following invariants (established after
21 // Init has been called or if the data is empty or sorted):
22 //
23 // !h.Less(j, i) for 0 <= i < h.Len() and j = 2*i+1 or 2*i+2 and j < h.Len()
24 //
25 // Note that Push and Pop in this interface are for package heap's
26 // implementation to call. To add and remove things from the heap,
27 // use heap.Push and heap.Pop.
