Implementation
Now that we have discussed the important Max Heap functions, let’s move on to implementing them in Java.
Explanation
This code covers all the cases that we discussed in the previous chapter. Let’s look at each function one by one and see what’s going on:
-
BuildHeap(): It takes the array and starts from the last parent node at the second last level, then passes it to MaxHeapify for comparison.
-
MaxHeapify(): This function takes the node index and ...
