priorityqueue class code example

Example 1: priority queue in java

import java.util.PriorityQueue;
import java.util.Iterator;

class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {

        // Creating a priority queue
        PriorityQueue<Integer> numbers = new PriorityQueue<>();
        numbers.add(4);
        numbers.add(2);
        numbers.add(1);
        System.out.print("PriorityQueue using iterator(): ");

        //Using the iterator() method
        Iterator<Integer> iterate = numbers.iterator();
        while(iterate.hasNext()) {
            System.out.print(iterate.next());
            System.out.print(", ");
        }
    }
}

Example 2: priority queue max heap in java

//Sol1
PriorityQueue<Integer> queue = new PriorityQueue<>(10, Collections.reverseOrder());


//Sol2
// PriorityQueue<Integer> pq = new PriorityQueue<>((x, y) -> y - x);
PriorityQueue<Integer> pq =new PriorityQueue<>((x, y) -> Integer.compare(y, x));


//Sol3
PriorityQueue<Integer> pq = new PriorityQueue<Integer>(defaultSize, new Comparator<Integer>() {
    public int compare(Integer lhs, Integer rhs) {
        if (lhs < rhs) return +1;
        if (lhs.equals(rhs)) return 0;
        return -1;
    }
});
