Binary Heap Representation in C
In C, a binary heap is represented using an array, where for any given index i:
- The left child is at index 2 * i + 1.
- The right child is at index 2 * i + 2.
- The parent is at index (i – 1) / 2.
C Program to Implement Binary Heap
Binary heaps are the most fundamental data structures which are used in various algorithms. They are mostly used in implementing priority queues and also in heapsort. They are tree-based data structures that satisfy heap order property. In this article, we will study the implementation of Binary heaps in C language.
