insertion into binary heap

Insertion into a binary heap refers to the process of adding a new element to the heap while maintaining its heap property. The heap property ensures that the largest (or smallest) element is at the root, allowing efficient access to the top element. During insertion, the new element is placed at the next available position in the heap and then "bubbled up" or percolated upwards to its proper position by repeatedly comparing it with its parent and swapping if necessary. This process continues until the heap property is satisfied again.
