heap order property

Heap order property refers to a fundamental property of heaps, which are data structures based on binary trees. It states that in a heap, for every node X, the value stored in X is greater (or smaller) than or equal to the values stored in its children. This property ensures that the largest (or smallest) element is always at the root of the heap, enabling efficient operations such as finding the maximum (or minimum) element.
