queue nowait code example

Example 1: queue python

from queue import Queue

q = Queue()

q.size() # returns the current lenght of queue
q.empty() # returns True if empty, False otherwise
q.put(item) 
q.get()

Example 2: python queue.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)
