Only Balanced BST (its guaranteed that we can search element in o(logn) ,
i am assuming its maxheap .In a max heap, the smallest element is always present at a leaf node. So we need to check for all leaf nodes for the minimum value. Worst case complexity will be O(n) 12 / \ / \ 8 7 / \ / \ try to search 5 in this using Heap & balanced BST / \ / \ 2 3 4 5 As searching is main constraints on complexity we can't use Heap to achieve O(logn) it will take linear time but using Balanced BST (e.g. AVL/RB Tree) we can search element in O(logn) :) Shashank CSE,BIT Mesra -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Algorithm Geeks" group.
