"Don’t confuse heap sort with building min.max heaps" But isn't a heap-sort simply building a min (or max) heap and repeatedly removing the smallest (largest) element?

i think he is just asking the normal time complexity of heap sort which is same for both min heap and max heap which is O(nlogn).

After retrospective, I think intent of this question was to check if I knew these sorting in and out or not including very details.
