height of a binary heap
The height of a binary heap refers to the number of levels or layers in the heap structure. It represents the maximum number of edges that need to be traversed from the root node to reach a leaf node in the heap. The height is directly related to the number of elements in the heap and affects the overall performance of various heap operations, such as insertion, deletion, and searching. In general, a binary heap with 'n' elements has a height of log₂(n+1) rounded down to the nearest integer.
