priority_queue (STL/CLR)

The template class describes an object that controls a varying-length ordered sequence of elements that has limited access. You use the container adapter priority_queue to manage an underlying container as a priority queue.

In the description below, GValue is the same as Value unless the latter is a ref type, in which case it is Value^. Similarly, GContainer is the same as Container unless the latter is a ref type, in which case it is Container^.

Syntax

template<typename Value,
    typename Container>
    ref class priority_queue
        System::ICloneable,
        Microsoft::VisualC::StlClr::IPriorityQueue<GValue, GContainer>
    { ..... };

Parameters

Value
The type of an element in the controlled sequence.

Container
The type of the underlying container.

Requirements

Header: <cliext/queue>

Namespace: cliext

Interfaces

Interface Description
ICloneable Duplicate an object.
IPriorityQueue<Value, Container> Maintain generic container adapter.

Remarks

The object allocates and frees storage for the sequence it controls through an underlying container, of type Container, that stores Value elements and grows on demand. It keeps the sequence ordered as a heap, with the highest-priority element (the top element) readily accessible and removable. The object restricts access to pushing new elements and popping just the highest-priority element, implementing a priority queue.

The object orders the sequence it controls by calling a stored delegate object of type priority_queue::value_compare (STL/CLR). You can specify the stored delegate object when you construct the priority_queue; if you specify no delegate object, the default is the comparison operator<(value_type, value_type). You access this stored object by calling the member function priority_queue::value_comp (STL/CLR)().

Such a delegate object must impose a strict weak ordering on values of type priority_queue::value_type (STL/CLR). That means, for any two keys X and Y:

value_comp()(X, Y) returns the same Boolean result on every call.

If value_comp()(X, Y) is true, then value_comp()(Y, X) must be false.

If value_comp()(X, Y) is true, then X is said to be ordered before Y.

If !value_comp()(X, Y) && !value_comp()(Y, X) is true, then X and Y are said to have equivalent ordering.

For any element X that precedes Y in the controlled sequence, key_comp()(Y, X) is false. (For the default delegate object, keys never decrease in value.)

The highest priority element is thus one of the elements which is not ordered before any other element.

Since the underlying container keeps elements ordered as a heap:

The container must support random-access iterators.

Elements with equivalent ordering may be popped in a different order than they were pushed. (The ordering is not stable.)

Thus, candidates for the underlying container include deque (STL/CLR) and vector (STL/CLR).

Members

priority_queue::assign (STL/CLR)

Replaces all elements.

Syntax

void assign(priority_queue<Value, Container>% right);

Parameters

right
Container adapter to insert.

Remarks

The member function assigns right.get_container() to the underlying container. You use it to change the entire contents of the queue.

Example

// cliext_priority_queue_assign.cpp
// compile with: /clr
#include <cliext/queue>

typedef cliext::priority_queue<wchar_t> Mypriority_queue;
int main()
    {
    Mypriority_queue c1;
    c1.push(L'a');
    c1.push(L'b');
    c1.push(L'c');

    // display initial contents " a b c"
    for each (wchar_t elem in c1.get_container())
        System::Console::Write("{0} ", elem);
    System::Console::WriteLine();

    // assign a repetition of values
    Mypriority_queue c2;
    c2.assign(c1);
    for each (wchar_t elem in c2.get_container())

    Mypriority_queue c1;
    c1.push(L'a');
    c1.push(L'b');
    c1.push(L'c');

    // display reversed contents " c b a"
    for (; !c1.empty(); c1.pop())
        {   // get a const reference to an element
        Mypriority_queue::const_reference cref = c1.top();

Example

// cliext_priority_queue_operator_as.cpp
// compile with: /clr
#include <cliext/queue>

typedef cliext::priority_queue<wchar_t> Mypriority_queue;

    c1.push(L'b');
    c1.push(L'c');

    // display contents " a b c"
    for each (wchar_t elem in c1.get_container())
        System::Console::Write("{0} ", elem);
    System::Console::WriteLine();

    // assign to a new container
    Mypriority_queue c2;
    c2 = c1;
    for each (wchar_t elem in c2.get_container())
        System::Console::Write("{0} ", elem);

    return (0);
    }
c a b
c a b

priority_queue::pop (STL/CLR)

Removes the highest-proirity element.

Syntax

void pop();

Remarks

The member function removes the highest-priority element of the controlled sequence, which must be non-empty. You use it to shorten the queue by one element at the back.

Example

// cliext_priority_queue_pop.cpp
// compile with: /clr
#include <cliext/queue>

typedef cliext::priority_queue<wchar_t> Mypriority_queue;
int main()
    {
    Mypriority_queue c1;
    c1.push(L'a');
    c1.push(L'b');
    c1.push(L'c');

    // display contents " a b c"
    for each (wchar_t elem in c1.get_container())
        System::Console::Write("{0} ", elem);
    System::Console::WriteLine();

    // pop an element and redisplay
    c1.pop();
    for each (wchar_t elem in c1.get_container())
        System::Console::Write("{0} ", elem);
    System::Console::WriteLine();

    for each (wchar_t elem in c1.get_container())
        System::Console::Write("{0} ", elem);
    System::Console::WriteLine();

    // modify top of priority_queue and redisplay

    ref = L'x';
    for each (wchar_t elem in c1.get_container())
        System::Console::Write("{0} ", elem);
    System::Console::WriteLine();
    return (0);
    }
c a b
x a b

priority_queue::size (STL/CLR)

Counts the number of elements.

Syntax

size_type size();

Remarks

The member function returns the length of the controlled sequence. You use it to determine the number of elements currently in the controlled sequence. If all you care about is whether the sequence has nonzero size, see priority_queue::empty (STL/CLR)().

Example

// cliext_priority_queue_size.cpp
// compile with: /clr
#include <cliext/queue>

typedef cliext::priority_queue<wchar_t> Mypriority_queue;

    System::Console::WriteLine("size() = {0} starting with 3", c1.size());

    // pop an item and reinspect
    c1.pop();
    System::Console::WriteLine("size() = {0} after popping", c1.size());

    // add two elements and reinspect
    c1.push(L'a');
    c1.push(L'b');
    System::Console::WriteLine("size() = {0} after adding 2", c1.size());
    return (0);

// compile with: /clr
#include <cliext/queue>

typedef cliext::priority_queue<wchar_t> Mypriority_queue;
int main()
    {
    Mypriority_queue c1;
    c1.push(L'a');
    c1.push(L'b');
    c1.push(L'c');

    // display initial contents " a b c"
    for each (wchar_t elem in c1.get_container())
        System::Console::Write("{0} ", elem);
    System::Console::WriteLine();

    // compute positive difference
    Mypriority_queue::size_type diff = c1.size();
    c1.pop();
    c1.pop();
    diff -= c1.size();
    System::Console::WriteLine("size difference = {0}", diff);
    return (0);
    }
c a b
size difference = 2

priority_queue::to_array (STL/CLR)

Copies the controlled sequence to a new array.

Syntax

cli::array<Value>^ to_array();

Remarks

The member function returns an array containing the controlled sequence. You use it to obtain a copy of the controlled sequence in array form.

Example

// cliext_priority_queue_to_array.cpp
// compile with: /clr
#include <cliext/queue>

typedef cliext::priority_queue<wchar_t> Mypriority_queue;
int main()
    {
    Mypriority_queue c1;
    c1.push(L'a');
    c1.push(L'b');
    c1.push(L'c');

    // copy the container and modify it
    cli::array<wchar_t>^ a1 = c1.to_array();

    c1.push(L'd');
    for each (wchar_t elem in c1.get_container())
        System::Console::Write("{0} ", elem);
    System::Console::WriteLine();

    // display the earlier array copy
    for each (wchar_t elem in a1)
        System::Console::Write("{0} ", elem);
    System::Console::WriteLine();
    return (0);
    }
d c b a
c a b

priority_queue::top (STL/CLR)

Accesses the highest-priority element.

Syntax

reference top();

Remarks

The member function returns a reference to the top (highest-priority) element of the controlled sequence, which must be non-empty. You use it to access the highest-priority element, when you know it exists.

Example

// cliext_priority_queue_top.cpp
// compile with: /clr
#include <cliext/queue>

typedef cliext::priority_queue<wchar_t> Mypriority_queue;
int main()
    {
    Mypriority_queue c1;
    c1.push(L'a');
    c1.push(L'b');
    c1.push(L'c');

    // display initial contents " a b c"
    for each (wchar_t elem in c1.get_container())
        System::Console::Write("{0} ", elem);
    System::Console::WriteLine();

    // inspect last item
    System::Console::WriteLine("top() = {0}", c1.top());

    // alter last item and reinspect
    c1.top() = L'x';
    for each (wchar_t elem in c1.get_container())
        System::Console::Write("{0} ", elem);
    System::Console::WriteLine();
    return (0);
    }

priority_queue::top_item (STL/CLR)

Accesses the highest-priority element.

Syntax

property value_type back_item;

Remarks

The property accesses the top (highest-priority) element of the controlled sequence, which must be non-empty. You use it to read or write the highest-priority element, when you know it exists.

Example

// cliext_priority_queue_top_item.cpp
// compile with: /clr
#include <cliext/queue>

typedef cliext::priority_queue<wchar_t> Mypriority_queue;
int main()
    {
    Mypriority_queue c1;
    c1.push(L'a');
    c1.push(L'b');
    c1.push(L'c');

    // display initial contents " a b c"
    for each (wchar_t elem in c1.get_container())
        System::Console::Write("{0} ", elem);
    System::Console::WriteLine();

    // inspect last item
    System::Console::WriteLine("top_item = {0}", c1.top_item);

    // alter last item and reinspect
    c1.top_item = L'x';
    for each (wchar_t elem in c1.get_container())
        System::Console::Write("{0} ", elem);
    System::Console::WriteLine();
    return (0);
    }
c a b
top_item = c
x a b

priority_queue::value_comp (STL/CLR)

Copies the ordering delegate for two elements.

Syntax

value_compare^ value_comp();

Remarks

The member function returns the ordering delegate used to order the controlled sequence. You use it to compare two values.

Example

// cliext_priority_queue_value_comp.cpp
// compile with: /clr
#include <cliext/queue>

typedef cliext::priority_queue<wchar_t> Mypriority_queue;
int main()
    {
    Mypriority_queue c1;
    Mypriority_queue::value_compare^ vcomp = c1.value_comp();

    System::Console::WriteLine("compare(L'a', L'a') = {0}",
        vcomp(L'a', L'a'));
    System::Console::WriteLine("compare(L'a', L'b') = {0}",
        vcomp(L'a', L'b'));
    System::Console::WriteLine("compare(L'b', L'a') = {0}",
        vcomp(L'b', L'a'));
    System::Console::WriteLine();

    // test a different ordering rule
    Mypriority_queue c2 = cliext::greater<wchar_t>();
    vcomp = c2.value_comp();

    System::Console::WriteLine("compare(L'a', L'a') = {0}",
        vcomp(L'a', L'a'));
    System::Console::WriteLine("compare(L'a', L'b') = {0}",
        vcomp(L'a', L'b'));
    System::Console::WriteLine("compare(L'b', L'a') = {0}",
        vcomp(L'b', L'a'));
    return (0);
    }
compare(L'a', L'a') = False
compare(L'a', L'b') = True
compare(L'b', L'a') = False

compare(L'a', L'a') = False
compare(L'a', L'b') = False
compare(L'b', L'a') = True

priority_queue::value_compare (STL/CLR)

The ordering delegate for two values.

Syntax

binary_delegate<value_type, value_type, int> value_compare;

Remarks

The type is a synonym for the delegate that determines whether the first argument is ordered before the second.

Example

// cliext_priority_queue_value_compare.cpp
// compile with: /clr
#include <cliext/queue>

typedef cliext::priority_queue<wchar_t> Mypriority_queue;
int main()
    {
    Mypriority_queue c1;
    Mypriority_queue::value_compare^ vcomp = c1.value_comp();

    System::Console::WriteLine("compare(L'a', L'a') = {0}",
        vcomp(L'a', L'a'));
    System::Console::WriteLine("compare(L'a', L'b') = {0}",
        vcomp(L'a', L'b'));
    System::Console::WriteLine("compare(L'b', L'a') = {0}",
        vcomp(L'b', L'a'));
    System::Console::WriteLine();

    // test a different ordering rule
    Mypriority_queue c2 = cliext::greater<wchar_t>();
    vcomp = c2.value_comp();

    System::Console::WriteLine("compare(L'a', L'a') = {0}",
        vcomp(L'a', L'a'));
    System::Console::WriteLine("compare(L'a', L'b') = {0}",
        vcomp(L'a', L'b'));
    System::Console::WriteLine("compare(L'b', L'a') = {0}",
        vcomp(L'b', L'a'));
    return (0);
    }
compare(L'a', L'a') = False
compare(L'a', L'b') = True
compare(L'b', L'a') = False

compare(L'a', L'a') = False
compare(L'a', L'b') = False
compare(L'b', L'a') = True

priority_queue::value_type (STL/CLR)

The type of an element.

Syntax

typedef Value value_type;

Remarks

The type is a synonym for the template parameter Value.

Example

// cliext_priority_queue_value_type.cpp
// compile with: /clr
#include <cliext/queue>

typedef cliext::priority_queue<wchar_t> Mypriority_queue;
int main()
    {
    Mypriority_queue c1;
    c1.push(L'a');
    c1.push(L'b');
    c1.push(L'c');

    // display reversed contents " a b c" using value_type
    for (; !c1.empty(); c1.pop())
        {   // store element in value_type object
        Mypriority_queue::value_type val = c1.top();

        System::Console::Write("{0} ", val);
        }
    System::Console::WriteLine();
    return (0);
    }
c b a
