Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a max heap with the values [50, 30, 20, 10, 15]. Perform the Delete Max operation and outline each step with the resulting heap after each action.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Visualize the heap structure before and after each operation.

Question 2

Explain how you would build a max heap from this array [3, 1, 4, 1, 5, 9, 2, 6, 5]. Focus on the bottom-up approach and the time complexity involved.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how many nodes require adjustments at higher levels.
