From 0 to 1 Data Structures & Algorithms in Java - Maximum Element In A Minimum Heap and K Largest Elements In A Stream

The video tutorial covers the use of heaps in solving programming problems, particularly in interviews. It explains how to find the maximum element in a min heap by focusing on leaf nodes and introduces a method to find the K largest elements in a stream using a min heap. The tutorial provides step-by-step logic and code examples to help understand these concepts.

How does the algorithm for finding K largest elements in a stream work?

Explain how the heap is updated when a new element is added that is larger than the minimum element.

What steps are involved in maintaining a minimum heap of size K while processing a stream of elements?

What is the final output of the algorithm after processing all elements in the stream?
