Is it possible to use a min heap as a max heap?


I've implemented a minHeap class so I am curious if, without modifying the code, it would be possible to use the minHeap class as a max heap?


Solution

  • Just flip the sign of all your values before you put them into the heap, and again as you take them out of the heap.
