Heap sort can be imagined as an improved version of selection sort. Like selection sort, this also has two sub-collections (a sorted one and an unsorted one). Initially, the unsorted sub-collection is the input collection, whereas the sorted sub-collection is empty. During the process, it tries to remove elements one by one from the unsorted sub-collection and adds them into the sorted sub-collection. Though the concept of sorting is similar to selection sort, the way it does it's different from selection sort. Its performance is O(n log n).

Overview of this book
Data structures and algorithms are more than just theoretical concepts. They help you become familiar with computational methods for solving problems and writing logical code. Equipped with this knowledge, you can write efficient programs that run faster and use less memory.
Hands-On Data Structures and Algorithms with Kotlin book starts with the basics of algorithms and data structures, helping you get to grips with the fundamentals and measure complexity. You'll then move on to exploring the basics of functional programming while getting used to thinking recursively. Packed with plenty of examples along the way, this book will help you grasp each concept easily. In addition to this, you'll get a clear understanding of how the data structures in Kotlin's collection framework work internally.
By the end of this book, you will be able to apply the theory of data structures and algorithms to work out real-world problems.
