# CFBinaryHeap

## Declaration

```swift
class CFBinaryHeap
```

## Overview

Overview CFBinaryHeap implements a container that stores values sorted using a binary search algorithm. All binary heaps are mutable; there is not a separate immutable variety. Binary heaps can be useful as priority queues.
