reheapification
Reheapification is the process of restoring the heap property in a data structure, specifically in a heap. The heap property states that for any node in the heap, the value stored in the parent node is greater (in a max heap) or lesser (in a min heap) than the values stored in its children nodes. Reheapification involves percolating an element up or down the heap after an insertion or removal operation to maintain the heap property. This operation ensures that the data structure remains efficient for certain operations like extracting the maximum or minimum value.
