In our journey through Data Structures and Algorithms, we&rsquo;ve explored linear structures like arrays and linked lists, and delved into the hierarchical world of trees. Now, we&rsquo;re about to meet a special type of tree-based structure that’s all about efficiency when it comes to prioritizing elements: <strong>Heaps</strong> and their powerful application, <strong>Priority Queues</strong>.</p> <p>This chapter will unravel the mysteries of Heaps, explain how they maintain a specific order, and show you how they form the backbone of a Priority Queue. You&rsquo;ll learn not just <em>what</em> they are, but <em>why</em> they&rsquo;re incredibly useful in various real-world scenarios, from operating system task scheduling to finding the shortest path in a navigation app. By the end, you&rsquo;ll have a solid conceptual understanding and a hands-on TypeScript implementation of a Priority Queue. Get ready to add another powerful tool to your DSA toolkit!</p>
