Can someone tell me if I have produced the right minimum binary heap after inserting these values in order into an initially empty minimum binary heap?
[23, 41, 19, 59, 10, 15, 40]
Yes. That is the correct result for that input.
The heap evolves as follows:
23
_23
/
41
_19_
/ \
41 23
_19_
/ \
41 23
/
59
_10_
/ \
19 23
/ \
59 41
_10_
/ \
19 15
/ \ /
59 41 23
_10_
/ \
19 15
/ \ / \
59 41 23 40
