Optimize the min_heapify() function, resulting in a significant reduction of approximately 50% in the number of comparisons for large random inputs, while maintaining identical results. The current implementation performs two comparisons per level to identify the minimum among three elements. In contrast, the proposed bottom-up variation uses only one comparison per level to assess two children until reaching the leaves. Then, it sifts up until the correct position is determined. Typically, the process of sifting down proceeds to the leaf level, resulting in O(1) secondary comparisons instead of log2(n). This optimization significantly reduces the number of costly indirect function calls and improves overall performance.
