Improve the efficiency of the min heap by prescaling counters, eliminating the need to repeatedly compute 'index * element_size' when accessing elements. By doing so, we avoid the overhead associated with recalculating the byte offset for each heap operation. However, with prescaling, the calculation for the parent element's location is no longer as simple as '(i - 1) / 2'. To address this, we copy the parent function from 'lib/sort.c', which calculates the parent offset in a branchless manner without using any division instructions. This optimization should result in a more efficient heap implementation by reducing the computational overhead of finding parent and child offsets.
