# Heapify

### Max Heapify :

```c
void maxHeapify(int h[], int index, int size) {

    // Set largest as parent and set children
    int left = 2 * index;
    int right = 2 * index + 1;
    int largest = index;
    
    // If left child is greater, make largest point to it
    if (left <= size && h[left] > h[largest])
        largest = left;
    
    // If right child is greater, make largest point to it
    if (right <= size && h[right] > h[largest])
        largest = right;
        
    // If largest is not parent, swap it with passed index
    if (largest != index) {
        int temp = h[index];
        h[index] = h[largest];
        h[largest] = temp;
        maxHeapify(h, largest, size);
    }
    return;

}
```

### Min Heapify :

```c
void minHeapify(int h[], int index, int size) {

    // Set smallest as parent and set children
    int left = 2 * index;
    int right = 2 * index + 1;
    int smallest = index;
    
    // If left child is smaller, make smallest point to it
    if (left <= size && h[left] < h[smallest])
        smallest = left;
    
    // If right child is smaller, make smallest point to it
    if (right <= size && h[right] < h[smallest])
        smallest = right;
        
    // If smallest is not parent, swap it with passed index
    if (smallest != index) {
        int temp = h[index];
        h[index] = h[smallest];
        h[smallest] = temp;
        minHeapify(h, smallest, size);
    }
    return;

}
```

**Note:** To build a max heap or min heap, run the function n/2 times . Like this :

```c
for (int i = size/2; i >= 1; i--) {
    maxHeapify(heap,i,size);
}
```

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://nitinranganath.gitbook.io/data-structures/heap/heapify.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
