/**
 * BinaryHeap class represents a binary heap data structure that can be configured as a Min Heap or Max Heap.
 *
 * Binary heaps are binary trees that are filled level by level and from left to right inside each level.
 * They have the property that any parent node has a smaller (for Min Heap) or greater (for Max Heap) priority
 * than its children, ensuring that the root of the tree always holds the extremal value.
