build heap operation on a binary heap

The "build heap operation on a binary heap" is a fundamental procedure that creates a binary heap from an unordered collection of elements. In this operation, the binary heap is constructed by repeatedly applying the "heapify" operation to the internal nodes of the tree, starting from the last parent node and proceeding up to the root. This process ensures that the heap property is maintained, where each parent node has a value greater than or equal to its child nodes for a max heap, or less than or equal to its child nodes for a min heap. The build heap operation has a time complexity of O(n) and plays a crucial role in various algorithms that rely on heap data structure for efficient operations, such as heap sort and priority queue implementations.
