From 0 to 1 Data Structures & Algorithms in Java - Heapify!

The video tutorial explains the operations of a binary heap, focusing on accessing, inserting, and removing elements. It introduces the heapify process, which involves sifting elements up or down to maintain heap properties. The tutorial provides detailed explanations of the sift down and sift up mechanisms, using examples to illustrate how elements are moved to their correct positions in a min heap. The video also covers the implementation details of these processes in code, highlighting the differences between min and max heaps.
