I am trying to insert in a maxHeap in java and then bubble up the object. This is what I have done, I am not sure how I should approach the bubble up method.
I do understand the algorithm behind bubble up, which is as follows:
- get parent node
- see if L_childNode is less than parent Node. If Yes, then swap parent with L_child.
- see if R_childNode is less than parent Node. If Yes, then swap parent with L_child.
Please point out what am I doing wrong?
private int getLeftChild(int n){
return x*2+1;
}
private int getRightChild(int n){
return x*2+2;
}
public void insert (E item) {
//Integer pos_lastEl= new Integer (heapArray.lastElement());
heapArray.add(item);
bubbleUp(item);
}
//To use to reheap up when item inserted at end of heap (complete tree)
private void bubbleUp(E x){
int place = heapArray.size()-1;
int parent=(place-1)/2;
if ((parent>=0) && (parent.compareTo(heapArray.get(getLeftChild))<0)){
swap(place,parent);
}else ((parent>=0 && (parent.compareTo(heapArray.get(getRightChild))<0))){
swap(place,parent);
}
}
//swaps two objects at index i and j
private void swap(int i, int j){
int max=heapArray.size();
if(i>=0 && i<max && j>=0 && j<max){
E temp=heapArray.get(i);
//put J item in I
heapArray.set(i,heapArray.get(j));
heapArray.set(j,temp);
}
}
