CS223/2005/Schedule/2005-03-28

Note: You are looking at a static copy of the former PineWiki site, used for class notes by James Aspnes from 2003 to 2012. Many mathematical formulas are broken, and there are likely to be other bugs as well. These will most likely not be fixed. You may be able to find more up-to-date versions of some of these notes at http://www.cs.yale.edu/homes/aspnes/#classes.

Recursive data structures. Heaps. Readings: BinaryTrees, Heaps.

We were supposed to cover more about heaps today, but got sidetracked with a discussion of ASCII, ISO_8859-1, WikiPedai:ISO_8859-7, Unicode, and the Han_unification controversy, none of which are relevant to CS223/Assignments/HW07, which should be done under the assumption that you are dealing with pure 8-bit numerical character values with no particular interpretation. So we'll finish up heaps next time with packed heaps, bottom-up heapification, and HeapSort.
