initiate a priority queue python code example
Example: python priority queue
from queue import PriorityQueue
class PqElement(object):
def __init__(self, value: int):
self.val = value
#Custom Compare Function (less than or equsal)
def __lt__(self, other):
"""self < obj."""
return self.val > other.val
#Print each element function
def __repr__(self):
return f'PQE:{self.val}'
#Usage-
pq = PriorityQueue()
pq.put(PqElement(v)) #Add Item - O(Log(n))
topValue = pq.get() #Pop top item - O(1)
topValue = pq.queue[0].val #Get top value - O(1)
