Class TreeOfListsDoublePriorityQueue<E>

java.lang.Object
  inf.util.TreeOfListsDoublePriorityQueue<E>

Type Parameters:

E - the element type for elements queued

All Implemented Interfaces:

DoublePriorityQueue<E>, PriorityQueue<E,java.lang.Double>, java.lang.Iterable<E>

public class TreeOfListsDoublePriorityQueue<E>
extends java.lang.Object
implements DoublePriorityQueue<E>

This class represents a priority queue, that is a queue in which elements can be held and from which they can be retrieved by priority. For this purpose, each object has a priority associated with it that determines when in relation to the other elements in the queue this element should be retrieved. Priorities are doubles here.

The implementation of this priority queue is achieved by maintaining the elements in a sorted tree. The order is determined by the priority and each tree node contains a LinkedList of all the nodes with the same priority. In this way a reasonably efficient execution of most of the operations provided can be guaranteed even for very long queues. The removal of elements from this queue and the contains-test with a given priority are supported but inefficient. Queued elements may be null.
