The main advantages of heap sort are that it sorts elements in place and produces a valid partial result while the algorithm is still running. With most other algorithms you don't get any results until they're finished or nearly finished. For instance merge sort produces no results until the start of the final merge. Heap sort starts producing results right after heapify is done, albeit in reverse order. Another advantage is that heap sort doesn't require a lot of metadata. With merge sort you must keep track of all the lists to be merged, typically using a stack. With heap sort you just need a reference to the element being sifted up or down. The sift operations use tail recursion, which means they can be done iteratively. It's not really fair to compare heap and merge with only ten elements. Try it with about 10,000 and see how they compare.

There're an inaccuracy in your statement tho. If heap sort is producing results in reverse order, just use min heap.

@Bubu567

"reverse order" In a order. Not 'reverse order'. The order it produces results in may or may not be the correct 'side' of the sort. It depends on if it's told to sort ascending or descending. Even then, it can invert your choice and then return the list backwards to you when you ask for it.

I find a heap most useful specifically in pathfinding. Don't actually sort it, just maintain the heap properties when all you really need to know is what is the biggest (or in some cases smallest) out of a collection, like when selecting which node to expand next. You don't care about how the rest of the list is sorted, as long as you van get the biggest one. You can get it in one operation, then run a sift-up one time, which will take something like square root of N operations...

Heap Sort may not be ideal when sorting is all you want to do, but this whole idea of a heap becomes invaluable when you need a data structure that allows you to always take out the smallest element quickly, but also be able to quickly modify the data in the heap in between. And often in solving some more advanced problem this is exactly what you need to do it efficiently.

Even with an array of a million objects, heapsort only takes about a second to sort everything. (I know because I just had to write a heapsort algorithm for a university project and the I remember hearing that the professor wanted us to sort that large of an array in under 30 seconds.)

An entirely new set of sorting algorithms would need to be implemented to take advantage of this but I wouldn't be surprised if you could get an order of magnitude improvement in sorting speed over a lucky quicksort. The problem with doing this is that sorting isn't done very often. You may ask your computer to sort things occasionally but it's not happening 60 times a second, once for each frame/update in a video game for example so doesn't need a drastic speed up.

the "short sighted robot" is just an metaphor for the way the algorithms are programmed.

I think it would be more fair to also show a heapsort vs mergesort when the heapsort already has a heap structure. Both of these algorithms have O(n log n) time complexity, assuming the heapsort is executing on an already existing heap. Heaps have the advantage that extracting the min (or max for a maxheap) element is a consistent O(log n) time complexity, which is fantastic speed. This has a very high amount of use cases.

One major advantage to heapsort that's not addressed here. If you have more elements to sort than will fit into memory, you need to resort to an external merge sort. And the number of passes that the merge sort requires is dependent upon the number of runs (sorted sequences) that are already created. Assuming you can store N items in memory, the technique is to read in N items, sort them, then write out that run and repeat until you've created the initial set of runs. So each run is N items long. However, in heapsort, you read in N items, write out the lowest item and then read in the next item. If it's greater than the item just written, place the newly read item into the heap and continue. If it's less than the item just written, reduce the heap by 1 element and save the newly read item into storage. Result is that on average, using heapsort, the initial length of each run is 2N, not N. So you have about half as many runs to process with mergesort. So it runs faster.

Now this is how all programming tutorials must be made! Excellent! In this way they can be understood by small kids.

One of the best and simpliest explanations ever.

How can you learn these algorithms without understanding what they do? You memorize the code or something? Like the exact things you have to type? I think when most people program something, they know what they want the program to do and then they construct the code doing exactly that.

I would like to see a comparison between Bubble Sort and Gnome Sort. BTW: When I programm something to use gnome sort, I add a variable, at which number the algorithm was, when it starts to compare to the start. Then, when it's ready, it can go just to this index and don't compare up to the turning point.

Wow what a way to explain !!! Thank you !!!

It would be interesting to "hand trace" a small manageable example like this and count the number of swaps using the traditional method (of just "popping" the top element), vs. my idea of popping the top 2 elements (the root and the brighter of the children in this example). I am thinking if the number of swaps is less using my method, it is a valid improvement and should make runtime on a more substantial tree (such as 1 million random numbers), get sorted faster with "double pop" heapsort. The idea is to get the known 2 brightest balls out of the heap quicker (than 1 at a time).

堆積排序法：將排列按亮度排成樹狀圖（堆積化），取得最亮後從底部取一顆球置於頂部。頂部與支部比較，和最亮的交換，逐一比較直至底部。以上步驟反覆進行直至取完全部的球。 堆積排序法因更多次的比較而不如合併排序法快速。合併排序法需要額外的整排空間，而堆積排序法只需要較少的空間。 快速排序法平均而言比合併排序法和堆積排序法都要快，但遇到最槽情況時會更慢，此時堆積排序法會比較快。 當空間不足且不允許忽快忽慢時，堆積排序法較優。

Can you do a video on selection sort?

Iirc heap sort is like this: Suppose we have an array of data, from 0x0000 to 0xFFFF, each value is represented by one and only one datum. Separate the data into heaps of size 0x100, i.e. 0x0000 to 0x00FF; 0x0100 to 0x01FF; 0x0200 to 0x02FF, etc. Check to see that all data is placed into their heaps; then assign a heap number to each heap. Now one heap can be treated as a single datum, i.e. heaps 0x0 to 0x100. Sort the heaps using another technique, like QuickSort. Now the data is nearly sorted, use multithreading to sort multiple heaps at once. Here I'll use QuickSort again. Since the heaps are sorted, i.e. the largest element in the last heap is no larger than the smallest element in the next, we need not check if the entire array is in order after we sort each heap, for it is by definition always true after we sort each heap separately In this sample size of 65536, we only need to compare the whole array against a number once, which is faster than the method shown

Is the heap sort faster if you start out with an existing heap and need to sort it?
