</ul>     <h2 id="pkg-overview">Overview </h2> <p>Package heap provides heap operations for any type that implements heap.Interface. A heap is a tree with the property that each node is the minimum-valued node in its subtree. </p>
<p>The minimum element in the tree is the root, at index 0. </p>
<p>A heap is a common way to implement a priority queue. To build a priority queue, implement the Heap interface with the (negative) priority as the ordering for the Less method, so Push adds items while Pop removes the highest-priority item from the queue. The Examples include such an implementation; the file example_pq_test.go has the complete source. </p>   <h4 id="example__intHeap"> <span class="text">Example (IntHeap)</span>
