Java Program to Implement Heap Sort using a Priority Queue

This is the Java Program to Implement Heap Sort Using a Priority Queue.

Problem Description

Given an array of integers, sort the array using heap sort which uses a priority queue. A priority queue is a min-heap in which every node is smaller than its elements.

Problem Solution

Add all the elements of the array to the priority queue. Now, remove the minimum element of the array and store it in the array starting from index 0.

Program/Source Code

Here is the source code of the Java Program to Implement Heap Sort Using a Priority Queue. The program is successfully compiled and tested using IDE IntelliJ Idea in Windows 7. The program output is also shown below.

Program Explanation

1. In class PriorityQueue, insert() function is used to add an element to the priority queue and heapifyUpwards() function is used to move a leaf node to its appropriate position.
2. The extractMin() function returns the minimum element from the priority queue.
3. The heapifyDownwards() function, moves an element at index i to its correct position in the min-heap.
4. In heapsort function, first, all the elements are added to the priority queue, then the elements are extracted one by one.

Time Complexity: O(n*log(n)) where n is the number of elements in the array.
