I read CLRS and he says heapsort
HEAPSORT(A):
BUILD-MAX-HEAP(A);
for (i = A.length; i >= 1; i++)
{
exchange A[1] with A[i];
A.heap-size = A.heap-size - 1;
MAX-HEAPIFY(A,1);
}
MAX_HEAPIFY - O(lg n). The book says that it launches MAX-HEAPIFY ntimes, so this is the time O(n lg n).
But if the heap is reduced by size by 1, shouldn't each iteration be O(lg n!)?
It will be lg 1 + lg 2 ... + lg(n-1) + lg (n) = lg(n!), right?
