 Tree data structure - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There are many different ways to represent trees; common representations represent the nodes as records allocated on the heap with pointers to their children, their parents, or both, or as items in an array, with relationships between them determined by their positions in the array (e.g., binary heap).
Binary search trees are one kind of ordered tree, and there is a one-to-one mapping between binary trees and general ordered trees.
In graph theory, a tree is a connected acyclic graph.

So, why bother creating your own heap data structure if what you need is a generic priority_queue.
Seems it will be hard for us to implement the heap data structure correctly during contest time...
Let's say there is a collection of objects and a data structure must quickly answer the question: 'Is this object in the data structure?' (e.g., is this word in the dictionary?).

 WebReference.com - Chapter 3 from Perl & XML, from O'Reilly and Associates (6/12)
With each update, your program does something new--perhaps translating the data and sending it to another place, testing it for some specific content, or sticking it onto a growing heap of data.
Tree building, on the other hand, lets the data stick around for as long as you need it, and your code is usually simple because you don't need special tricks to do things like backwards searching.
For example, nested elements may be represented in native Perl structures like lists or hashes, as we saw in an earlier example.

 What is an "Abstract Data Type"?
Concerning the ADT, back in high school days (late 80's early 90's) ADT was always a conceptual structure only, like a stack/heap/queue.
The data type is a stack, but it isn't a primitave data type.
The most common ADT would be a stack, heap or queue, which can be implemented in an OOP manner or a procedural manner in just about (if not all) languages.

Binary heaps are a particularly simple kind of heap data structure created using a binary tree.
This is a simple example of an implicit data structure.
Heaps where the comparison function is mathematical "greater than" are called max-heaps; those where the comparison function is mathematical "less than" are called "min-heaps".

 Definition of Merge sort
Although mergesort can sort linked lists, it is also much more efficient than quicksort if the data to be sorted can only be efficiently accessed sequentially, and is thus popular in languages, such as Lisp, where sequentially accessed data structures are very common.
In computer science, merge sort or mergesort is a sort algorithm for rearranging lists (or any other data structure that can only be accessed sequentially, e.g.
Although heap sort has the same time bounds as merge sort, it requires only Ω(1) auxilary space instead of merge sort's Ω(n), and is consequently often faster in practical implementations.

 Priority Queues and Heapsort in Java
Finally, in Section 9.7, we examine a more advanced data structure, called the binomial queue, that we use to implement all the operations (including join) in worst-case logarithmic time.
During our study of all these various data structures, we shall bear in mind both the basic tradeoffs dictated by linked versus sequential memory allocation (as introduced in Chapter 3) and the problems involved with making packages usable by applications programs.
First, in Section 9.1, we illustrate this point by discussing a few elementary data structures for implementing priority queues.
