# node-treap An implementation of the treap data structure for node.js and the browser ## Treaps [Treaps](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treap) are self-balancing binary trees which combine the properties of heaps and binary search trees. Each node has a _key_, which follows binary search tree ordering, and a _priority_, which follows heap ordering. Treaps can be used to efficiently implement sets and sorted lists, among other things. ## Example ```javascript var treap = require('treap'); var t = treap.create(); // Insert some keys, augmented with data fields t.insert(5, {foo: 12}); t.insert(2, {foo: 8}); t.insert(7, {foo: 1000}); // Look up treap elements var a = t.find(5); var b = t.findRank(1); console.log(a.key, a.data); // 5 { foo: 12 } console.log(b.key, b.data); // 2 { foo: 8 } // Remove treap elements t.remove(a); // by reference to node t.remove(7); // by key ``` ## Module Methods ###create() Factory method to initialize a new, empty treap. ###merge(lTreap, rTreap) Merges the two treaps into a single treap, given that maxKey(lTreap) < minKey(rTreap). ## Treap Methods ###insert(key, [data]) Inserts a node with the given key (optionally augmented with an arbitrary data object). ###find(key) Returns the node with the given key, or null if no such node exists. The node object contains key and data fields, as wells as fields for navigating the search tree: left, right, and parent. ###remove(key|node) Remove the node with the given numeric key, or the given node itself. ###findRange(from, to) Returns a list containing all nodes with from <= node.key <= to. ###findRank(k) Returns the node with the kth smallest key. ###split(k) Splits the treap into two treaps lTreap and rTreap such that maxKey(lTreap) < k <= minKey(rTreap). The two new treaps are retured as the list

[lTreap, 
rTreap]

. ###traverse(fn) Performs an inorder traversal of the tree and executes function fn for each node. fn is passed the arguments (node, i), where i counts the callings of fn. The traversal can be aborted before it finishes by fn returning true. ###getRoot() Returns the root node. ###getSize() Returns the number of nodes in the treap. ## Tests Tests are written with [Mocha](http://visionmedia.github.com/mocha/) and can be run with `npm test`. ## License (The MIT License) Copyright (c) 2012 Brenden Kokoszka Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the 'Software'), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.
