Python Program for Heap Sort

Heap sort is a comparison based sorting technique based on Binary Heap data structure. It is similar to selection sort where we first find the maximum element and place the maximum element at the end. We repeat the same process for remaining element.

# Python program for implementation of heap Sort
 
# To heapify subtree rooted at index i.
# n is size of heap
def heapify(arr, n, i):
    largest = # Initialize largest as root
    l = 2 * i + 1     # left = 2*i + 1
    r = 2 * i + 2     # right = 2*i + 2
 
    # See if left child of root exists and is
    # greater than root
    if l < n and arr[i] < arr[l]:
        largest = l
 
    # See if right child of root exists and is
    # greater than root
    if r < n and arr[largest] < arr[r]:
        largest = r
 
    # Change root, if needed
    if largest != i:
        arr[i],arr[largest] = arr[largest],arr[i]  # swap
 
        # Heapify the root.
        heapify(arr, n, largest)
 
# The main function to sort an array of given size
def heapSort(arr):
    n = len(arr)
 
    # Build a maxheap.
    for i in range(n, -1, -1):
        heapify(arr, n, i)
 
    # One by one extract elements
    for i in range(n-1, 0, -1):
        arr[i], arr[0] = arr[0], arr[i]   # swap
        heapify(arr, i, 0)
 
# Driver code to test above
arr = [ 12, 11, 13, 5, 6, 7]
heapSort(arr)
n = len(arr)
print ("Sorted array is")
for i in range(n):
    print ("%d" %arr[i]),

Output:

Sorted array is
5 6 7 11 12 13
