A couple of syntax errors, but with them fixed this all works. Take a look at my suggestions and let me know what questions you have.

👍 The time complexity is O(n log n) because you're adding n nodes to the heap and each addition takes log n time.

Similarly the space complexity is O(n) because you build a heap of n nodes.
