Crystal Lang Priority Queue

CI

Usage

Simple priority queue.

  • Higher numbers pop first
  • lower numbers shift first
  • always insert using push or << to maintain validity
require 'priority-queue'

queue = Priority::Queue(String).new
queue.push 10, "Insert 1"
queue.push 20, "Insert 2"

queue.pop.value # => "Insert 2"
queue.pop.value # => "Insert 1"

A named priority queue where newer items with the same name replace existing items. The highest of the two priorities is inherited by the new item.

require 'priority-queue'

queue = Priority::NamedQueue(String).new
queue.push 20, "Insert 1", :named
queue.push 20, "Insert 2"
queue.push 10, "Insert 3", :named

queue.size # => 2

queue.pop.value # => "Insert 3"
queue.pop.value # => "Insert 2"
