RE: Priority Queue
|
| A priority queue is essentially a list of items in which each item has associated with it a priority. In general, different items may have different priorities and we speak of one item having a higher priority than another. Given such a list we can determine which is the highest (or the lowest) priority item in the list. Items are inserted into a priority queue in any, arbitrary order. |
