Efficiency of the STL priority_queue

Question

I have an application (C++) that I think would be well served by an STL priority_queue. The documentation says:

Priority_queue is a cont

Answer 1

C++ STL priority_queue underlying data structure is Heap data structure(Heap is a non linear ADT which based on complete binary tree and complete binary tree is implemented through vector(or Array) container.

ex  Input data : 5 9 3 10 12 4.

Heap (Considering Min heap) would be :

                   [3]
             [9]             [4]
         [10]    [12]     [5]


   NOW , we store this min heap in to vector,             
      [3][9][4][10][12][5].
      Using formula ,
      Parent : ceiling of n-1/2
      Left Child : 2n+1
      Right Child : 2n+2 .
  Hence ,
    Time Complexity for 
             Top = O(1) , get element from root node.
             POP()= O(logn) , During deletion of root node ,there  is      chance to violation of  heap order . hence restructure of heap order takes at most O(logn) time (an element might move down to height of tree).
            PUSH()= O(logn) , During insertion also , there might chance to violation of  heap order . hence restructure of heap order takes at most O(logn) time (an element might move up to root from leaf node).
