Expand description

A priority queue implemented with a binary heap.

Insertion and popping the largest element have O(log(n)) time complexity. Checking the largest element is O(1). Converting a vector to a binary heap can be done in-place, and has O(n) complexity. A binary heap can also be converted to a sorted vector in-place, allowing it to be used for an O(n * log(n)) in-place heapsort.

§Examples

This is a larger example that implements Dijkstra’s algorithm to solve the shortest path problem on a directed graph. It shows how to use BinaryHeap with custom types.

use std::cmp::Ordering;
use std::collections::BinaryHeap;

#[derive(Copy, Clone, Eq, PartialEq)]
struct State {
    cost: usize,
    position: usize,
}

// The priority queue depends on `Ord`.
// Explicitly implement the trait so the queue becomes a min-heap
// instead of a max-heap.
impl Ord for State {
    fn cmp(&self, other: &Self) -> Ordering {
        // Notice that we flip the ordering on costs.
        // In case of a tie we compare positions - this step is necessary
        // to make implementations of `PartialEq` and `Ord` consistent.
        other.cost.cmp(&self.cost)
            .then_with(|| self.position.cmp(&other.position))
    }
}

// `PartialOrd` needs to be implemented as well.
impl PartialOrd for State {
    fn partial_cmp(&self, other: &Self) -> Option<Ordering> {
        Some(self.cmp(other))
    }
}

// Each node is represented as a `usize`, for a shorter implementation.
struct Edge {
    node: usize,
    cost: usize,
}

// Dijkstra's shortest path algorithm.

// Start at `start` and use `dist` to track the current shortest distance
// to each node. This implementation isn't memory-efficient as it may leave duplicate
// nodes in the queue. It also uses `usize::MAX` as a sentinel value,
// for a simpler implementation.
fn shortest_path(adj_list: &Vec<Vec<Edge>>, start: usize, goal: usize) -> Option<usize> {
    // dist[node] = current shortest distance from `start` to `node`
    let mut dist: Vec<_> = (0..adj_list.len()).map(|_| usize::MAX).collect();

    let mut heap = BinaryHeap::new();

    // We're at `start`, with a zero cost
    dist[start] = 0;
    heap.push(State { cost: 0, position: start });

    // Examine the frontier with lower cost nodes first (min-heap)
    while let Some(State { cost, position }) = heap.pop() {
        // Alternatively we could have continued to find all shortest paths
        if position == goal { return Some(cost); }

        // Important as we may have already found a better way
        if cost > dist[position] { continue; }

        // For each node we can reach, see if we can find a way with
        // a lower cost going through this node
        for edge in &adj_list[position] {
            let next = State { cost: cost + edge.cost, position: edge.node };

            // If so, add it to the frontier and continue
            if next.cost < dist[next.position] {
                heap.push(next);
                // Relaxation, we have now found a better way
                dist[next.position] = next.cost;
            }
        }
    }

    // Goal not reachable
    None
}

fn main() {
    // This is the directed graph we're going to use.
    // The node numbers correspond to the different states,
    // and the edge weights symbolize the cost of moving
    // from one node to another.
    // Note that the edges are one-way.
