C++ Algorithm Series: Heaps

Know the basics of C++ and want to further sharpen your skills? Then follow along with C++ expert Advait Jayant in his next course in the C++ Algorithm Series, and master how to work with heaps.

If you need to first develop a fundamental knowledge of C++, watch this excellent video on C++. Also here are all of Advait Jayant’s highly-rated videos on O’Reilly, including the full C++ Algorithm Series.

The following eight topics will be covered through a combination of lecture and hands-on to maximize your learning of heaps in C++:

Introducing Heaps in C++. This first topic in this C++ Heaps course explains the concept of heaps in C++, and contrasts heaps with arrays. A heap is a data structure which is responsible for the creation of priority queues. A heap is a complete binary tree (CBT). Learn about Min-Heap and Max-Heap properties.
Implementing Heaps in C++. This second topic in this C++ Heaps course explains how to implement heaps in C++. Follow along with Advait in this hands-on session as you create a heap and then insert new nodes into this heap.
Deleting Elements from a Heap in C++. This third topic in this C++ Heaps course explains how to delete elements from a heap in C++. Follow along with Advait in this hands-on session.
Using the Priority Queues Standard Template Library (STL) in C++. This fourth topic in this C++ Heaps course explains how to implement Heaps using the Standard Template Library (STL) in C++. Follow along with Advait in this hands-on session.
Using Functors and Solving the Bus-stop Problem using Heaps in C++. This fifth topic in this C++ Heaps course explains how to use Functors and solve the Bus-stop Problem in C++. Follow along with Advait in this hands-on session.
Finding the K-Largest Elements in a Running Stream using Heaps in C++. This sixth topic in this C++ Heaps course explains how to find the K-Largest elements in a running stream of integers using heaps in C++. Follow along with Advait in this hands-on session.
Merging K-Sorted Array using Heaps in C++. This seventh topic in this C++ Heaps course explains how to merge K-Sorted Array using heaps in C++. Follow along with Advait in this hands-on session.
Solving the Running Medians Problem using Heaps in C++. This eighth topic in this C++ Heaps course explains how to solve the Running Medians Problem using heaps in C++. Follow along with Advait in this hands-on session.
