In this video, we dive deep into the *Min Heap* and *Priority Queue* data structure – an essential tool for solving many algorithmic problems, especially in **Greedy algorithms**, **Dijkstra's algorithm**, **Top-K problems**, and **Scheduling**.
We explain the *core concepts**, how heaps are structured, and how to implement and use them efficiently in **Python* with the `heapq` module.
