parent-child relationship in a binary heap
The parent-child relationship in a binary heap is a hierarchical structure where each node has at most two children. In this relationship, every node has a parent except for the root node. The parent node is always greater (in a max heap) or smaller (in a min heap) than its child nodes. This relationship is essential to maintain the heap's property and enables efficient operations like insertion, deletion, and heapify.
