DAA - Extract Method
Design and Analysis Extract Method
Extract method is used to extract the root element of a Heap. Following is the algorithm.
Algorithm: Heap-Extract-Max (numbers[]) max = numbers[1] numbers[1] = numbers[heapsize] heapsize = heapsize – 1 Max-Heapify (numbers[], 1) return max
Example
Let us consider the same example discussed previously. Now we want to extract an element. This method will return the root element of the heap.

After deletion of the root element, the last element will be moved to the root position.

Now, Heapify function will be called. After Heapify, the following heap is generated.
