heapsorted

Example:To sort an array of numbers, we first build a max heap and then repeatedly remove the maximum element from the heap until the array is sorted.

Definition:A comparison-based sorting algorithm that builds a heap from the input data, and then repeatedly extracts the maximum element from the heap and rebuilds it until all elements are sorted.

Example:Heapsort is commonly used for in-place sorting where additional space is a concern, as it sorts the elements directly within the array.

Definition:Another term for heap sort, a method that sorts elements by building a heap data structure and performing operations on it to achieve a sorted sequence.
