Class LinkedListMergePQ<T extends java.lang.Comparable>

java.lang.Object

com.sl.algorithms.core.list.merge.LinkedListMergePQ<T>

All Implemented Interfaces:

BaseInterface<T>, Constants, MergeEngine<T>

public class LinkedListMergePQ<T extends java.lang.Comparable>
extends java.lang.Object
implements MergeEngine<T>

Merge K sorted lists, using priority-queue

Complexity:
Time: O(N * logK): N = total number of nodes and K = total number of lists.
Space: O(N): for merged list + O(kMax): for the priority-queue.
