heaps
Heaps are a type of data structure that organizes elements based on their priority. They are commonly used to efficiently retrieve and maintain the maximum or minimum element. Heaps have a unique property where the priority of a parent node is always greater than or equal to its child nodes (in the case of a max heap) or less than or equal to its child nodes (in the case of a min heap). This property allows for quick access to the highest or lowest priority element.
