heapify operation in binary heap
The heapify operation in a binary heap refers to the process of restoring the heap property, which ensures that the parent nodes in the heap always have a higher priority than their child nodes. The heapify operation involves comparing the value of a node with its children and swapping them if necessary, to maintain the desired ordering. This operation is typically used after insertion or deletion in a binary heap to maintain the heap's structure and efficiency.
