Questions and Answers

What data structure is Heap Sort based on?

  • Binary Heap (correct)
  • Binary Search Tree
  • Array
  • Linked List

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

What is the time complexity of Heap Sort?

  • $O(n)$
  • $O( ext{log} n)$
  • $O(n ext{ log } n)$ (correct)
  • $O(n^2)$

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.
