heaps fig comparison of several sorting algorithms within sorted list quicksort is more efficient than heapsort even though they have the same computational complexity examining fig we see selection sort operating with th ( complexitywhich is not acceptable except for very short lists the quicksort algorithm behaves more favorably than the heapsort algorithm as is expected the built-in sortwhich is quicksort implemented in cruns the fastestdue to being implemented in summary this introduced heaps and the heapsort algorithm building heap can be done efficiently in (ntime complexity heap guarantees the top element will be either the biggest or smallest element of an ordered collection of values using this principle we can implement many algorithms and datatypes using heaps the heapsort algorithm was presented in this as one example of use for heaps heaps are not good for looking up values looking up value in heap would take (ntime and would be no better than linear search of list for value this is because there is no ordering of the elements within heap except that the largest (or smallestvalue is on top you cannot determine where in heap value is located this copy belongs to 'acha
