heapify operation
A heapify operation refers to the process of rearranging the elements in a binary heap so that the heap property is satisfied. This operation is typically used to maintain or restore the heap property after a new element has been added to or removed from the heap. Heapify operation involves comparing and swapping elements to ensure that the parent nodes are always greater (for max heap) or smaller (for min heap) than their child nodes. The key purpose of the heapify operation is to efficiently maintain the heap structure, allowing for efficient retrieval of the maximum or minimum element from the heap.
