Heapify is a sorting algorithm that uses a heap data structure. It's like a fancy tree with a big personality.
Heapify takes a list of items and repeatedly removes the root element, placing it at the end of the list and heapifying the rest. Repeat until the list is sorted. It's like a game of musical chairs, but with more math.
Heapify has its uses, like when you need to sort a list of items in O(log n) time. But let's be real, who needs to sort a list that badly?
