public extract ( void ) : mixed
public insert ( mixed `$value` ) : void
public isCorrupted ( void ) : bool
public isEmpty ( void ) : bool
public key ( void ) : mixed

public recoverFromCorruption ( void ) : void
public rewind ( void ) : void
public top ( void ) : mixed

}

## Cuprins

- SplHeap::compare — Compare elements in order to place them correctly in the heap while sifting up
- SplHeap::__construct — Constructs a new empty heap
- SplHeap::count — Counts the number of elements in the heap
- SplHeap::current — Return current node pointed by the iterator
- SplHeap::extract — Extracts a node from top of the heap and sift up
- SplHeap::insert — Inserts an element in the heap by sifting it up
- SplHeap::isCorrupted — Tells if the heap is in a corrupted state
- SplHeap::isEmpty — Checks whether the heap is empty
- SplHeap::key — Return current node index
- SplHeap::next — Move to the next node
- SplHeap::recoverFromCorruption — Recover from the corrupted state and allow further actions on the heap
- SplHeap::rewind — Rewind iterator back to the start (no-op)
- SplHeap::top — Peeks at the node from the top of the heap
- SplHeap::valid — Check whether the heap contains more nodes
