ternary heap
A ternary heap is a variation of the binary heap data structure where each parent node has at most three children. It maintains the heap property, which states that for all nodes, the value in a parent node is greater than or equal to the values in its child nodes. A ternary heap is typically used to efficiently implement priority queues. The main advantage of a ternary heap is that it reduces the number of comparisons required for inserting and deleting elements compared to a binary heap.
