What is another word for maxheap?
Pronunciation: [mˈakshiːp] (IPA) 
Maxheap, a data structure used in computer science, can be alternatively referred to as a maximum heap, binary heap, or priority queue. A maxheap is a binary tree where the value of each parent node is greater than or equal to its children. It is commonly used in algorithms that require priority ordering such as Dijkstra's algorithm and Heap sort. The term binary heap is used interchangeably with maxheap, as it is a specific type of heap data structure. Priority queue refers to the abstract concept of the data structure, rather than the specific implementation of a maxheap or binary heap. Despite different names, these synonyms represent the same fundamental data structure with similar functionality and applications.
