C Program To Implement Heap Sort Algorithm.

Heap Sort is one of the best sorting methods being in-place and with no quadratic worst-case scenarios. The algorithm can be divided into 2 basic parts:

[1] Creating a Heap of the unsorted list. [2] Then a sorted array is created by repeatedly removing the largest/smallest element from the heap, and inserting it into the array. The heap is reconstructed after each removal.

Heap is a tree-based data structure that satisfies two special properties: 
*** Heap data structure is always a Complete Binary Tree, which means all levels of the tree are fully filled.


*** All nodes are either [greater than or equal to] or [less than or equal to] each of its children. If the parent nodes are greater than their children, heap is called a Max-Heap, and if the parent nodes are smaller than their child nodes, heap is called Min-Heap.


How Heap Sort Works: Initially on receiving an unsorted list, the first step is to create a Heap data structure (Max-Heap or Min-Heap). Once heap is built, the first element of the Heap is either largest or smallest (based on Max-Heap or Min-Heap), now we can put the first element of the heap in the array. Then we again make heap using the remaining elements, to again pick the first element of the heap and put it into the array. We keep on doing the same repeatedly until we have the complete sorted list in the array.

Let { 80, 32, 31, 110, 50, 40, 120 } be the list that we want to sort from the smallest to the largest (Max-heap).

Now all elements are sorted: 31, 32, 40, 50, 80, 110, 120.

The C Programming Language, 2nd Edition*

This book is meant to help the reader learn how to program in C. It is the definitive reference guide, now in a second edition. Although the first edition was written in 1978, it continues to be a worldwide best-seller. This second edition brings the classic original up to date to include the ANSI standard. For evolution of the planet earth and our modern understanding of biology, there was Darwin's Origin of the Species. For mathematics, there was Newton's PhilosophiƦ Naturalis Principia Mathematica. Well, for the internet, for Facebook, for LinkedIn, Twitter, Instgram, Snapchat, WhatsApp, Pornhub and even the odious website for Justin Bieber would never have existed without Kernigan and Ritchie (more affectionately known as K&R)'s classic, The C Programming Language. What language was TCP/IP written in? C. What language inspired both C++ and Java (and the abominable C#)? C. What language are most libraries on most operating systems written in if not assembler?

How Are The Web Pages Written?

Web pages are written in HTML, the web programming language that tells web browsers how to structure and present content on a web page. In other words, HTML provides the basic building blocks for the web. And for a long time, those building blocks were pretty simple and static: lines of text, links, and images. Today, we expect to be able to do things like play online chess or seamlessly scroll around a map of our neighborhood, without waiting for the entire page to reload for every chess move or every map scroll. The idea of such dynamic web pages began with the invention of the scripting language JavaScript. JavaScript support in major web browsers meant that web pages could incorporate more meaningful real-time interactions. For example, if you have filled out an online form and hit the “submit” button, the web page can use JavaScript to check your entries in real-time and alert you almost instantly if you had filled out the form incorrectly. But the dynamic web as we ...
