insertion into a binary heap
Insertion into a binary heap refers to the process of adding a new element into the heap data structure. It involves comparing the newly inserted element with its parent nodes and swapping them if necessary to maintain the heap's properties. This operation ensures that the binary heap remains a complete binary tree and satisfies the heap property, which is that the parent nodes are always greater (or smaller) than their child nodes depending on whether it is a max heap or a min heap.
