deletion from a binary heap
The term "deletion from a binary heap" refers to the operation of removing an element from a binary heap data structure. It involves rearranging the elements within the binary heap to maintain its properties, usually referred to as the heap property or heap invariant. Depending on the implementation, deletion from a binary heap can be performed in two ways: deletion of the root element (also known as extract-min or extract-max) or deletion of a specific element based on its value or position within the heap.
