Heap::Binary(3pm)

💖 Heap::Binary — a binary heap bestie 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

use Heap::Binary;

$heap = Heap::Binary->new;
# see Heap(3) for usage

bestie, fr fr, the real usage deets live over in Heap(3) — this page is just the Heap::Binary glow-up 💅

🫶 DESCRIPTION 🫶

So what does it do?? It keeps an array of elements in heap order 🎀 — that's the whole vibe.

And the way that works: the heap method of an element is used to store the index into the array that refers to the element 👑 so each element lowkey knows where it sits in the lineup.

For all the actual how-to-use-it details, go read Heap — that's the main character here, we're just the sibling 🌈
