This create provides a binary heap implementation that stores key-value pairs.
The main advantage of that is that unlike with an implementation like
[std::collections::BinaryHeap] checking if any given key exist is O(1) instead of O(n).
Same for getting the value for a given key. This allows for cheap modification of
values within the binary heap. Updating a value is O(log n) iff you have direct access to the value.
For a binary heap that does not store key-value pairs update operations would be O(n) because
they first have to find the value to update. The disadvantage is the additional storage space
required to store a hash map that provides indices into the heap for each key.
The minimum supported Rust version is 1.56.0.
This crate is based on binary-heap-plus
which is itself a based on the standard library's implementation of
BinaryHeap.
Version 0.1.0 provides a thorough refactor to allow storage of key-value pairs as well as retrieval and modification of values.
