Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the result of performing a heap sort on an array?
  • Step 1: Start with an unsorted array that you want to sort.
  • Step 2: Build a max-heap from the array. This means rearranging the elements so that the largest element is at the top.
  • Step 3: Swap the largest element (the root of the max-heap) with the last element of the array.
  • Step 4: Reduce the size of the heap by removing the last element (which is now in its correct position).
  • Step 5: Heapify the root of the heap to maintain the max-heap property.
  • Step 6: Repeat steps 3 to 5 until all elements are sorted.
