Show hintHide hint
Remember the structure and purpose.
Question 2.
What does a Min-Heap guarantee about its parent and children?
Show hintHide hint
Think about the smallest value in the tree.
3Question 3.
What is the time complexity of inserting an element into a heap?
- O(n)
- O(log n)
- O(1)
Show hintHide hint
Think about how trees are structured.
4Question 4.
True or False: A Max-Heap allows the parent node to be less than its children.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider how the elements compare in a Max-Heap.
Question 5.
You have the array [4, 10, 3, 5, 1]. Build a Min-Heap from this array and show the resulting array representation.
Show hintHide hint
Try to construct the heap level by level while maintaining the properties.
Question 6.
Explain how the complexity of a sorted array compares to the performance of a heap for insertions and deletions.
Show hintHide hint
Think about how elements are organized in both structures.
