max-heapify operation

The "max-heapify operation" is a fundamental operation in heap data structures. It ensures that the heap property is maintained, specifically for a max-heap, where the parent node always has a greater value than its children. This operation is applied to a single node within the heap, comparing its value with its children's values, and swapping them if necessary to maintain the maximum value at the root. It ensures that the largest element is at the top of the heap, allowing efficient retrieval of the maximum element.
