The document discusses heaps and heapsort. It defines max heaps and min heaps as complete binary trees where each node's key is greater than or less than its children's keys. It describes operations on heaps like insertion, deletion of the max/min element, and creation of an empty heap. Algorithms for insertion and deletion into max heaps are provided. Heapsort is described as building a max heap of the input array and then repeatedly extracting the max element to sort the array.
