Treap
In
computer science, a
Treap is a
binary search tree (BST) that orders the nodes by adding a random number
priority attribute to a node, as well as a key. The nodes are ordered so that the keys obey BST and the priorities obey the min heap order property.
- If v is a left child of u, then key[v] < key[u];
- If v is a right child of u, then key[v] > key[u];
- If v is a child of u, then priority[v] > priority[u];
(priority[v] > priority[u] means u was inserted before v)
Treaps exhibit the properties of a BST and a heap.
