Write a function parent_index_3_heap(child_index) that returns the index of the parent of the node at the given child_index. A None value should be returned if the child has no parent.

Notes:

This function is obviously for a 3-heap!
The values in the heap list start at index 1 - that is the root of the heap is at index 1 in the heap list.

This is for Python

Expert Solution

Logic : A heap is always stored in an array as the level order traversal of complete binary tree. For every kth element of the array (except 0th index) :

its left child is located at 2*k index
its right child is located at 2*k+1. index
its parent is located at k/2 index

Have a look athe below complete binary tree:

for index 8 the parent will be 8/2 = 4.

for index 23 the parent will be 23/2 = 11 and so on...

Have a look at the below code. I have put comments wherever required for better understanding.

Happy Learning!

Write a function that takes a valid stringlist and returns the index of the smallest element in the list represented by the stringlist. You may not use split(). Examples: >>> stringlist min index('[123,53,1,8]') # 1 is smallest2 >>> stringlist min index('[1,2,345,0]') # 0 is smallest3 >>> stringlist min index('[5] ') # 5 is smallest0

Write a function child_indices(parent, branch_factor) that returns a list containing the list of indices where the children of the node at index parent will be stored for a heap list with the given branch_factor (ie, a branch_factor-heap). Python language Notes: The function should return all possible indices and the indices should be in order from smallest to biggest. The values in the heap list start at index 1 - that is the root of the heap is at index 1...
