Mix task for saving/updating configurable list of Hexdocs packages
LocalHexdocs is a Mix task for easily saving and updating Hexdocs files locally on your machine so you always have the most recent documentation for any Elixir, Erlang, or Gleam packages you might want to view.
Clone this repository, create a /packages subdirectory, then list your desired Hexdocs packages (one per line) in one or more files (named anything you wish) inside this /packages subdirectory, then fetch the lastest Hexdocs for all packages to your local machine with:
mix run local_docs.exs getMinHeap implementation
In this video, we explore how to implement a MinHeap data structure in Elixir, taking advantage of the language’s flexibility to create a generic interface and allowing dynamic switching of implementations during runtime. The main goal is to demonstrate how the combination of facades and benchmarks can be used to measure the performance of different approaches, adapting to the performance needs of the system in real time.
