Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You are given an array of integers [15, 10, 20, 30, 25]. Describe how you would create a max heap from this array using the efficient method and calculate time complexity.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider adjusting from leaves upwards and how parent indices are calculated.

Question 2

If you delete the maximum element in the following heap representation [60, 40, 50, 30, 20, 10], detail the steps taken and the structure after deletion.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Visualize the heap structure and the necessary swaps.
