Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design an algorithm to construct a max-heap from an unsorted array of integers. Show intermediate steps.

💡 Hint: Consider each subtree and how to ensure the heap property is maintained.

Question 2

Explain in detail how heapsort can be applied to sort an array of negative numbers.

💡 Hint: Remember that sorting depends on order, not value sign.
