Summary

In this chapter, we learned about heap data structures. We examined the most common operations when working with heaps and their complexity cost. Following this we created our own simple min heap data structure class from scratch, and discussed how the min heap property formula is used to calculate parents or children for any given node index. Finally, we examined the most common applications for heap data structures.
