|  | 29 <h2>DESCRIPTION</h2> | 
|  | 30 <p><strong>PseudoHeap</strong> class provides the following methods:</p> | 
|  | 31 <p> <a href="#new">new</a>, <a href="#addkeyvaluepair">AddKeyValuePair</a>, <a href="#addkeyvaluepairs">AddKeyValuePairs</a>, <a href="#deletekey">DeleteKey</a>, <a href="#deletekeys">DeleteKeys</a>, <a href="#deletemaxkey">DeleteMaxKey</a> |

|  | 33 , <a href="#getmaxsize">GetMaxSize</a>, <a href="#getminkey">GetMinKey</a>, <a href="#getsortedkeys">GetSortedKeys</a>, <a href="#gettype">GetType</a>, <a href="#setkeytype">SetKeyType</a>, <a href="#setmaxsize">SetMaxSize</a>, <a href="#settype">SetType</a> | 
|  | 34 , <a href="#stringifypseudoheap">StringifyPseudoHeap</a> | 
|  | 35 </p><p>PseudoHeap is designed to support tracking of a specific number of largest or smallest key/value | 
|  | 36 pairs with numeric or alphanumeric keys along with corresponding scalar or reference values.</p> | 
|  | 37 <p>Although PseudoHeap is conceptually similar to a heap, it lacks number of key properties of a traditional | 
|  | 38 heap data structure: no concept of root, parent and child nodes; no ordering of keys in any particular | 
|  | 39 order; no specific location greatest or smallest key.</p> | 
|  | 40 <p>The keys are simply stored in a hash with each key pointing to an array containing specified values. | 
|  | 41 The min/max keys are updated during addition and deletion of key/value pairs; these can be retrieved | 
|  | 42 by accessing corresponding hash.</p> | 
|  | 43 <p>Addition and deletion of key/value is also straightforward using hashes. However, min/max keys | 
|  | 44 need to be identified which is done using Perl sort function on the keys.</p> | 
|  | 45 <p> |

|  | 52     $NewPseudoHeap = new PseudoHeap(%NamesAndValues);</div> | 
|  | 53 <p>Using specified parameters <em>NamesAndValues</em> names and values hash, <strong>new</strong> method creates | 
|  | 54 a new object and returns a reference to a newly created <strong>NewPseudoHeap</strong> object. By default, | 
|  | 55 the following property names are initialized:</p> |
