Python: Accepts an arbitrary list and converts it to a heap using Heap queue algorithm
Python heap queue algorithm: Exercise-4 with Solution
Write a Python function that accepts an arbitrary list and converts it to a heap using the heap queue algorithm.
Sample Solution:
Python Code:
import heapq as hq
raw_heap = [25, 44, 68, 21, 39, 23, 89]
print("Raw Heap: ", raw_heap)
hq.heapify(raw_heap)
print("\nHeapify(heap): ", raw_heap)
Sample Output:
Raw Heap: [25, 44, 68, 21, 39, 23, 89] Heapify(heap): [21, 25, 23, 44, 39, 68, 89]
