👍 , except that you're building a heap, so the space complexity is O(n).

The method works, and you have the space complexity right because you're doing recursion.

throw new Error("Method not implemented yet...");
const newNode = new HeapNode(key, value);
this.store.push(newNode);

if (this.store.length === 1) {
return;
} else {
return this.heapUp(this.store.length - 1);

This method works in most cases, but I think you're missing an edge-case here.

throw new Error("Method not implemented yet...");
const leftChild = 2 * index + 1;
const rightChild = 2 * index + 2;

if (leftChild >= this.store.length || rightChild >= this.store.length) return;

What if the left child is smaller than the length and the left child is smaller than it's parent, and at the same time the right child is equal to the length?

@CheezItMan can you give me an example? I'm having a hard time thinking of how a child index would be smaller than its parent index.


if (this.store[leftChild].key > this.store[index].key
&& this.store[rightChild].key > this.store[index].key) {
return;
} else if (this.store[leftChild].key < this.store[rightChild].key) {
this.swap(leftChild, index);
return this.heapDown(leftChild);
} else {
this.swap(rightChild, index);
return this.heapDown(rightChild);
}
}

// If you want a swap method... you're welcome
