| | | | | | | | | | | | substantially fewer array-element compares. This is best practice as of Kntuh Volume 3 Ed 2, and the code is actually simpler this way (although the key idea may be counter-intuitive at first glance! breaking out of a loop early loses when it costs more to try to get out early than getting out early saves). Also added a comment block explaining the difference and giving some real counts; demonstrating that heapify() is more efficient than repeated heappush(); and emphasizing the obvious point thatlist.sort() is more efficient if what you really want to do is sort.

* Hmm! I thought I checked this in before! Oh well.Tim Peters2002-08-021-9/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | Added new heapify() function, which transforms an arbitrary list into a heap in linear time; that's a fundamental tool for using heaps in real life <wink>. Added heapyify() test. Added a "less naive" N-best algorithm to the test suite, and noted that this could actually go much faster (building on heapify()) if we had max-heaps instead of min-heaps (the iterative method is appropriate when all the data isn't known in advance, but when it is known in advance the tradeoffs get murkier).
