Code – Heap
Hey everyone! Let’s dive into heaps – a fascinating data structure that’s surprisingly useful. Think of a heap as a special kind of tree that keeps its elements neatly organized, making certain operations super-fast. We’ll explore what makes them tick, how they’re implemented, and why they’re a go-to choice for problems involving priority queues and efficient sorting. Let’s get started!
Heap – Theory
A heap is a tree-based data structure that keeps its elements partially ordered, ensuring the largest (or smallest) element is always at the top for quick access.
