The functions associated with priority queue are:
empty() – Returns whether the queue is empty
size() – Returns the size of the queue
top() – Returns a reference to the top most element of the queue
push(g) – Adds the element ‘g’ at the end of the queue
pop() – Deletes the first element of the queue
#include <iostream> #include <queue> using namespace std; void showpq(priority_queue < int > gq) { priority_queue < int > g = gq; while (!g.empty()) { cout << ' ' << g.top(); g.pop(); } cout << '
' ; } int main () { priority_queue < int > gquiz; gquiz.push(10); gquiz.push(30); gquiz.push(20); gquiz.push(5); gquiz.push(1); cout << "The priority queue gquiz is : " ; showpq(gquiz); cout << "
gquiz.size() : " << gquiz.size(); cout << "
gquiz.top() : " << gquiz.top(); cout << "
gquiz.pop() : " ; gquiz.pop(); showpq(gquiz); return 0; } |
The output of the above programs is :
The priority queue gquiz is : 30 20 10 5 1 gquiz.size() : 5 gquiz.top() : 30 gquiz.pop() : 20 10 5 1
