This document discusses heap sort and operations on heaps. It defines max-heaps and min-heaps, and how a heap can be represented as a binary tree and array. It explains that heap sort works by building a max-heap from an array, swapping the root with the last element and reducing the heap size, then sifting the new root down repeatedly until one element remains. Common heap operations like insertion, deletion, and heapify are also covered, along with time complexities of heap operations.
