What is the time complexity for decreasing priority of key in a maximum ternary heap of n elements?(a) O (log n/ log 3)(b) O (3log n/ log 3)(c) O (n)(d) O (1)This key question is from Ternary heap in section Heap of Data Structures & Algorithms IThis question was posed to me in examination.

Answer»

Correct choice is (B) O (3log n/ log 3)

The explanation is: In order to decrease the priority of key in a maximum ternary heap DATA STRUCTURE having n elements, it performs downward SWAPPING. So the time complexity for worst case is found to be O (3log n/ log 3).
