max heap operaton in java code example

Example 1: max heap java

import java.util.PriorityQueue;

public class MaxHeapWithPriorityQueue {

    public static void main(String args[]) {
        // create priority queue
        PriorityQueue<Integer> prq = new PriorityQueue<>(Comparator.reverseOrder());

        // insert values in the queue
        prq.add(6);
        prq.add(9);
        prq.add(5);
        prq.add(64);
        prq.add(6);

        //print values
        while (!prq.isEmpty()) {
            System.out.print(prq.poll()+" ");
        }
    }

}

Example 2: min max heap java

// min heap: PriorityQueue implementation from the JDK
PriorityQueue<Integer> prq = new PriorityQueue<>();

// max heap: PriorityQueue implementation WITH CUSTOM COMPARATOR PASSED
// Method 1: Using Collections (recommended)
PriorityQueue<Integer> prq = new PriorityQueue<>(Collections.reverseOrder());
// Method 2: Using Lambda function (may cause Integer Overflow)
PriorityQueue<Integer> prq = new PriorityQueue<>((a, b) -> b - a);
