Vocabularyassoc-heapsWord descriptionA data structure containing an assoc and a heap to get certain properties with better time constraints at the expense of more space and complexity. For instance, a hashtable and a heap can be combined into one assoc-heap to get a sorted data structure with O(1) lookup. Operations on assoc-heap may update both the assoc and the heap or leave them out of sync if it's advantageous.
