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.

Description
Learn about heap sort, a comparison-based sorting technique based on the Binary Heap data structure. Understand the process of converting an array into a heap data structure using heapify and then sorting the elements by deleting the root node of the Max-heap.
