1. : Which data structure is primarily used to implement a priority queue?



2. : What is the time complexity of inserting an element into a priority queue implemented using a heap of size 𝑛?



3. : Which sorting algorithm uses a heap as its data structure?



4. : What is the worst-case time complexity of heap sort for sorting 𝑛 elements?



5. : In heap sort, what is the process used to build a max-heap from an array?



6. : Which of the following is a primary advantage of using a priority queue?



7. : Which operation is typically used to remove the maximum element from a max-heap in a priority queue?



8. : In a min-heap-based priority queue, what operation retrieves the minimum element without removing it?



9. : Which sorting algorithm exhibits a stable behavior (preserves the relative order of equal elements)?



10. : Which property of heap sort makes it suitable for applications requiring in-place sorting?



11. : Which operation is used to convert an unordered array into a heap in heap sort?



12. : What is the main disadvantage of using a heap-based priority queue compared to other data structures?



13. : Which application often requires efficient priority queue operations?



14. : In a priority queue implemented using a min-heap, what is the root element?



15. : Which data structure does not use a heap for its implementation?



16. : What is the primary benefit of using heap sort over other sorting algorithms?



17. : Which operation in a priority queue is similar to removing the root in a heap?



18. : Which property must be maintained during the heapify process in heap sort?



19. : Which operation is not typically supported directly by a heap-based priority queue?



20. : Which sorting algorithm is generally preferred when stable sorting is not a requirement?
