Let’s now create a PriorityQueue sorted in the inverse natural order. An unbounded priority queue based on a priority heap. isEqualTo(integerQueueWithComparator.poll()) PriorityQueue integerQueueWithComparator = new PriorityQueue((Integer c1, Integer c2) -> pare(c1, c2)) That's because initializing a priority queue with a null Comparator will directly order elements using the compare operation.Īs an example, let’s now see that by providing a standard Integer natural ordering comparator or null, the queue will be ordered in the same way: PriorityQueue integerQueue = new PriorityQueue() In a previous article, we presented how elements inserted into the PriorityQueue are ordered based on their natural ordering. It is instead granted linear time for the remove(Object) and contains(Object) methods and constant time for the retrieval methods ( peek, element, and size). This can happen thanks to the Balanced Binary Heap data structure that is constantly maintained for every edit to the Queue. In the Javadoc, it’s specified that this implementation takes O(log(n)) time for the enqueuing and dequeuing methods ( offer, poll, remove and add). While it’s not mandatory to give an initial capacity to a PriorityQueue, if we already know the size of our collection, it's possible to avoid automatic resizes, which consume CPU cycles that we'd be better off saving. This array is automatically resized if the initial specified capacity (11 by default in JDK 17) is not enough to store all the items. Internally, the PriorityQueue relies on an array of objects.

c): Creates a PriorityQueue containing the elements in the specified collection. PriorityQueue pq new PriorityQueue () 2.

Every retrieval operation of the queue ( poll, remove, or peek) reads the head of the queue. PriorityQueue (): Creates a PriorityQueue with the default initial capacity (11) that orders its elements according to their natural ordering. As we may infer from its name, we use PriorityQueue to maintain a defined ordering in a given collection: the first element ( head) of the queue is the most minor element with respect to the ordering we specify. The class was provided starting from the JDK 1.5, which also contains other implementations of the AbstractQueue.
