int item; int priority; Element(int item, int priority) { this->item = item; this->priority = priority; code example

Example: implemetation of priority queue in c++

// Implementation of priority_queue in c++

//queue with elements in decreasing order
priority_queue<int> pq;

// queue with elements in increasing order  using compare function inside declaration
priority_queue <int, vector<int>, greater<int> > pq;

//priority_queue of type pair<int, int>
#define pp pair<int, int>
priority_queue <pp, vector<pp>, greater<pp> > pq;
