What is the time complexity for decreasing priority of key in a minimum ternary heap of n elements?(a) O (log n/ log 3)(b) O (n!)(c) O (n)(d) O (1)Enquiry is from Ternary heap topic in section Heap of Data Structures & Algorithms II have been asked this question during an online interview.

Answer»

The correct option is (a) O (log N/ log 3)

Explanation: In order to decrease the priority of an item in a ternary heap data structure having n elements, the heap has great EFFICIENCY for DECREASING them. So the time COMPLEXITY for WORST case is found to be O (log n/ log 3). This is due to the upwards swapping process.
