Exam tip

Board: next patient. Dry-run Difference between Min Heap and Max Heap. Name the trap: min-heap vs max-heap mix-up.

Example

import heapq

def heap_sort(arr):
    h = arr[:]
    heapq.heapify(h)
    return [heapq.heappop(h) for _ in range(len(h))]

print(heap_sort([5, 1, 4, 2]))

Difference between Min Heap and Max Heap — heap sort uses a binary heap to repeatedly extract the minimum.
