A heap is a labelled binary tree where the key of each node is less than
or equal to the keys of its sons.  The point of a heap is that we can
keep on adding new elements to the heap and we can keep on taking out
the minimum element.  If there are N elements total, the total time is
O(NlgN).  If you know all the elements in advance, you are better off
doing a merge-sort, but this file is for when you want to do say a
best-first search, and have no idea when you start how many elements
there will be, let alone what they are.

The following heap manipulation routines are available once included
with the `use_module(library(heaps))` command. 

  - add_to_heap/4
  - empty_heap/1
  - get_from_heap/4
  - heap_size/2
  - heap_to_list/2
  - list_to_heap/2
  - min_of_heap/3
  - min_of_heap/5


A heap is a labelled binary tree where the key of each node is less
 than or equal to the keys of its sons.  The point of a heap is that
 we can keep on adding new elements to the heap and we can keep on
 taking out the minimum element.  If there are N elements total, the
 total time is O(NlgN).  If you know all the elements in advance, you
 are better off doing a merge-sort, but this file is for when you want
 to do say a best-first search, and have no idea when you start how
 many elements there will be, let alone what they are.

    A heap is represented as a triple t(N, Free, Tree) where N is the
    number of elements in the tree, Free is a list of integers which
    specifies unused positions in the tree, and Tree is a tree made of
	t			terms for empty subtrees and
	t(Key,Datum,Lson,Rson)	terms for the rest
    The nodes of the tree are notionally numbered like this:
				    1
		     2				    3
	     4               6               5               7
	 8      12      10     14       9       13      11     15
      ..  ..  ..  ..  ..  ..  ..  ..  ..  ..  ..  ..  ..  ..  ..  ..
    The idea is that if the maximum number of elements that have been in
    the heap so far is M, and the tree currently has K elements, the tree
    is some subtreee of the tree of this form having exactly M elements,
    and the Free list is a list of K-M integers saying which of the 
    positions in the M-element tree are currently unoccupied.  This free
    list is needed to ensure that the cost of passing N elements through
    the heap is O(NlgM) instead of O(NlgN).  For M say 100 and N say 10^4
    this means a factor of two.  The cost of the free list is slight.
    The storage cost of a heap in a copying Prolog (which Dec-10 Prolog is
    not) is 2K+3M words.

%   inserts the new Key-Datum pair into the heap.  The insertion is
%   not stable, that is, if you insert several pairs with the same
%   Key it is not defined which of them will come out first, and it
%   is possible for any of them to come out first depending on the 
%   history of the heap.  If you need a stable heap, you could add
%   a counter to the heap and include the counter at the time of
%   insertion in the key.  If the free list is empty, the tree will
%   be grown, otherwise one of the empty slots will be re-used.  (I
%   use imperative programming language, but the heap code is as 
%   pure as the trees code, you can create any number of variants
%   starting from the same heap, and they will share what common
%   structure they can without interfering with each other.)
