What is the time complexity for increasing priority of key in a maximum ternary heap of n elements?(a) O (log n/ log 3)(b) O (n!)(c) O (n)(d) O (1)This key question is from Ternary heap topic in chapter Heap of Data Structures & Algorithms II got this question during an interview.

Answer»

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

The explanation is: In order to increase the PRIORITY of an item in a ternary heap data structure having n elements, it performs upwards swapping. So the time complexity for WORST case is found to be O (log n/ log 3).
