/**

|
* In computer science, a heap is a specialized tree-based data structure that
|
|
* satisfies the heap property: If A is a parent node of B then key(A) is ordered
|
|
* with respect to key(B) with the same ordering applying across the heap. Either
|
|
* the keys of parent nodes are always greater than or equal to those of the children
|
|
* and the highest key is in the root node (this kind of heap is called max heap) or
|
|
* the keys of parent nodes are less than or equal to those of the children (min heap).
