Min Heap: Introduction

Explore the fundamentals of Min Heaps, including building the heap from a vector using bottom-up Min Heapify, inserting new elements by percolating up, and removing the minimum element while maintaining heap properties. Understand these core operations to implement efficient priority queues and sorting algorithms in C++.

Building a Min-Heap

As mentioned in a previous lesson, Min Heaps follow the Min Heap property, which means that the key at the parent node is always smaller than the keys at the child nodes. Heaps can be implemented using vectors. Initially, ...
