Heaps Data Structure
Heaps are a type of binary tree-based data structure commonly used in computer science. They are often used to implement priority queues, where elements with higher priority are dequeued first. Heaps have two main variations: max heaps, where the parent node is always greater than or equal to its children, and min heaps, where the parent node is always less than or equal to its children. Heaps have efficient insertion and deletion operations, making them suitable for applications that require efficient priority-based processing.
