heapify operation on a binary heap

Heapify operation on a binary heap refers to the process of creating or restoring the heap property in a binary heap. In this operation, the elements of the binary heap are adjusted or reordered to satisfy the heap property, which states that for a max heap, every parent node is greater than or equal to its children, and for a min heap, every parent node is less than or equal to its children. This operation is typically used after insertions or deletions in a binary heap to maintain the heap property efficiently, ensuring quick access to the minimum or maximum element.
