std::pop_heap
C++98 · The Foundation · Compiler flag: -std=c++98
Explanation
Removes the largest element from a heap.
Real-World Scenario
Retrieve the highest-priority task from a queue.
Quick Snippet

std::pop_heap(vec.begin(), vec.end());Full Example
pop_heap.cpp
// CodeNebula - C++98 Example: pop_heap
// Compile: g++ -std=c++98 -Wall -Wextra -o example pop_heap.cpp
// std::pop_heap moves the largest element (front) to the end of
// the range and re-heapifies [first, last-1). You then call
// pop_back() on the container to actually remove it.

}
// Expected output:
// Heap: 50 40 30 10 20
// Max: 50
// Popped: 50
// New max: 40
// Popped: 40
// New max: 30
// Remaining heap: 30 10 20
