why represent priority queue with heaps code example

Example 1: min heap priority queue c++

#include
std::priority_queue , std::greater > minHeap;

Example 2: priority queue min heap

#include 
using namespace std;
 
// User defined class, Point
class Point
{
   int x;
   int y;
public:
   Point(int _x, int _y)
   {
      x = _x;
      y = _y;
   }
   int getX() const { return x; }
   int getY() const { return y; }
};
 
// To compare two points
class myComparator
{
public:
    int operator() (const Point& p1, const Point& p2)
    {
        return p1.getX() > p2.getX();
    }
};
 
// Driver code
int main ()
{
    // Creates a Min heap of points (order by x coordinate)
    priority_queue , myComparator > pq;
 
    // Insert points into the min heap
    pq.push(Point(10, 2));
    pq.push(Point(2, 1));
    pq.push(Point(1, 5));
 
    // One by one extract items from min heap
    while (pq.empty() == false)
    {
        Point p = pq.top();
        cout << "(" << p.getX() << ", " << p.getY() << ")";
        cout << endl;
        pq.pop();
    }
 
    return 0;
}
