Heap Sort

Heap sort is a method of organizing and sorting a list of items efficiently. It works by first building a special structure called a "heap," which ensures the largest (or smallest) item is always at the top. Then, it repeatedly removes the top item, placing it at the end of the sorted section, and re-heapifies the remaining items. This process continues until all items are sorted. Heap sort is known for its good performance and uses a systematic approach to order data, making it effective for sorting large sets quickly and reliably.
