<A NAME="sec4"><H3>Description</H3></A>
<P>A heap is a particular organization of elements in a range between two random access iterators <SAMP>[a, b)</SAMP>. Its two key properties are:</P>
<OL>
<LI><P CLASS="LIST"><SAMP>*a</SAMP> is the largest element in the range.</P></LI>
<LI><P CLASS="LIST"><SAMP>*a</SAMP> may be removed by the <SAMP>pop_heap()</SAMP> algorithm or a new element may be added by the <SAMP>pop_heap()</SAMP> algorithm, in <SAMP>O(log(N))</SAMP> time.</P></LI>
</OL>
<P>These properties make heaps useful as priority queues.</P>
<P>The <SAMP>pop_heap()</SAMP> algorithm uses <SAMP>operator&lt;()</SAMP> as the default comparison. An alternate comparison operator can be specified to the second overload of the function template.</P>
<P>The <SAMP>pop_heap()</SAMP> algorithm can be used as part of an operation to remove the largest element from a heap. It assumes that the range <SAMP>[start, finish)</SAMP> is a valid heap (in other words, that <SAMP>start</SAMP> is the largest element in the heap or the first element based on the alternate comparison operator). It then swaps the value in the location <SAMP>start</SAMP> with the value in the location <SAMP>finish - 1</SAMP> and makes the range <SAMP>[start, finish - 1)</SAMP> back into a heap.</P>
<A NAME="sec5"><H3>Complexity</H3></A>
<P><SAMP>pop_heap()</SAMP> performs at most <SAMP>2 * log(finish - start)</SAMP> comparisons.</P>
