- Binary Heap (correct)
- Binary Search Tree
- Array
- Linked List
How is the sorted array obtained in Heap Sort?
How is the sorted array obtained in Heap Sort?
- By reversing the order of elements in the input array (correct)
- By randomly shuffling all elements
- By swapping every second element with the next element
- By selecting the maximum element and placing it at the beginning

Heap Sort is a comparison-based sorting technique based on Binary Tree data structure.
Heap Sort is a comparison-based sorting technique based on Binary Tree data structure.
In Heap Sort, the root node of the Max-heap is replaced with the minimum element in each iteration.
In Heap Sort, the root node of the Max-heap is replaced with the minimum element in each iteration.
The time complexity of Heap Sort is O(n^2) in all cases.
The time complexity of Heap Sort is O(n^2) in all cases.
Heap Sort maintains good performance with a large number of elements due to the height of the binary heap being factored in.

Study Notes
Heap Sort Algorithm
- Heap sort is a comparison-based sorting technique based on Binary Heap data structure.
- It is similar to selection sort, where we find the minimum element and place it at the beginning, repeating the process for remaining elements.
Steps in Heap Sort Algorithm
- Convert the array into a heap data structure using heapify.
- Delete the root node of the Max-heap and replace it with the last node in the heap.
- Heapify the root of the heap.
- Repeat the process until the size of the heap is greater than 1.
Advantages of Heap Sort
- Heap sort has a time complexity of O(n log n) in all cases.
- This makes it efficient for sorting large datasets.
- The log n factor comes from the height of the binary heap, ensuring good performance with a large number of elements.
