    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Min-max_heap

    Example of Min-max heap. Each node in a min-max heap has a data member (usually called key) whose value is used to determine the order of the node in the min-max heap. The root element is the smallest element in the min-max heap. One of the two elements in the second level, which is a max (or odd) level, is the greatest element in the min-max heap
