extract-min operation
The "extract-min operation" refers to the process of retrieving the minimum element from a data structure. It is typically used in a priority queue or a heap to obtain the smallest element without modifying the structure. This operation is crucial for maintaining the ordering of elements and optimizing time complexity in various algorithms.
