Class CharArrayPriorityQueue

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    CharPriorityQueue, PriorityQueue<Character>, Serializable

    public class CharArrayPriorityQueue
    extends Object
    implements CharPriorityQueue, Serializable
    A type-specific array-based priority queue.

    Instances of this class represent a priority queue using a backing array—all operations are performed directly on the array. The array is enlarged as needed, but it is never shrunk. Use the trim() method to reduce its size, if necessary.

    This implementation is extremely inefficient, but it is difficult to beat when the size of the queue is very small.

        public CharArrayPriorityQueue​(int capacity,
                                      CharComparator c)
        Creates a new empty queue with a given capacity and comparator.
        Parameters:
        capacity - the initial capacity of this queue.
        c - the comparator used in this queue, or null for the natural order.

      • CharArrayPriorityQueue

        public CharArrayPriorityQueue​(char[] a,
                                      int size,
                                      CharComparator c)
        Wraps a given array in a queue using a given comparator.

        The queue returned by this method will be backed by the given array.

        Parameters:
        a - an array.
        size - the number of elements to be included in the queue.
        c - the comparator used in this queue, or null for the natural order.
