heap sort
Heap sort is a comparison-based sorting algorithm that uses a binary heap data structure to sort elements. It works by repeatedly extracting the maximum (in the case of sorting in ascending order) element from the heap and placing it at the end of the sorted array. The remaining elements are then heapified to maintain the heap property, and the process is repeated until the entire array is sorted. Heap sort has a time complexity of O(n log n) and is an in-place sorting algorithm.
