Hello, The existing implementations of heap/heapsort follow the conventional textbook approach, where each heapify operation requires approximately 2*log2(n) comparisons. In this series, I introduce a bottom-up variant that reduces the number of comparisons during heapify operations to approximately log2(n), while maintaining the same number of swap operations.
