Syntax:
</p>
<pre class="c code c++" style="font-family:monospace;">    <span class="co2">#include &lt;algorithm&gt;</span>
    <span class="kw4">void</span> push_heap<span class="br0">&#40;</span> random_access_iterator start<span class="sy0">,</span> random_access_iterator end <span class="br0">&#41;</span><span class="sy0">;</span>

<p>
The push_heap() function adds an element (defined as the last element before
end) to a heap (defined as the range of elements between [start,&#039;&#039;end-1).
</p>

<p>
If the strict weak ordering comparison function object cmp is given, then it is
used instead of the &lt; operator to compare elements.
</p>

<p>
push_heap() runs in <a href="../../complexity.html" class="wikilink1" title="complexity">logarithmic time</a>.
</p>
