Our roadmap for understanding Heaps and Priority Queues.

  1. What is a Heap?: Defining its core properties.
  2. Heap Representation: How to store a tree in an array.
  3. Core Operations: insert and extractMax.
  4. Building a Heap: The heapify process.
  5. Complexity Analysis: Understanding the $O(\log n)$ performance.
  6. Applications: Where heaps are used.
