deletion in heap
Deletion in a heap refers to the process of removing the root element from the heap tree structure. This deletion operation involves two main steps: swapping the root with the last element in the heap, and then reordering the elements to maintain the heap property. During this process, the smaller child of each node is compared and swapped if necessary, following a specific heap property (either min-heap or max-heap). The reordered heap ensures that the root element maintains the desired property (e.g., minimum or maximum value).
