- =head1 NAME
-
- Heap::Elem::NumRev - Perl extension for Reversed Numeric Heap Elements
-
- =head1 SYNOPSIS
-
- use Heap::Elem::NumRev( NumRElem );
- use Heap::Fibonacci;
-
- my $heap = Heap::Fibonacci->new;
- my $elem;
-
- foreach $i ( 1..100 ) {
- $elem = NumRElem( $i );
- $heap->add( $elem );
- }
-
- while( defined( $elem = $heap->extract_top ) ) {
- print "Largest is ", $elem->val, "\n";
- }
-
- =head1 DESCRIPTION
-
- Heap::Elem::NumRev is used to wrap numeric values into an element
- that can be managed on a heap. The top of the heap will have
- the largest element still remaining. (See L<Heap::Elem::Num>
- if you want the heap to always return the smallest element.)
-
- The details of the Elem interface are described in L<Heap::Elem>.
-
- The details of using a Heap interface are described in L<Heap>.
