insertion operation in a heap
The insertion operation in a heap refers to the process of adding a new element to the heap data structure while maintaining the heap property. This involves placing the new element in the next available position and then rearranging the elements to restore the heap property, which ensures that the parent nodes have higher priority than their children in a max heap (or lower priority in a min heap).
