Package it.unimi.dsi.fastutil.chars

Class CharArrayPriorityQueue

java.lang.Object

it.unimi.dsi.fastutil.chars.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.

• Serialized Form

Implementation Specification:

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

CharArrayPriorityQueue

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(int capacity)

Creates a new empty queue with a given capacity and using the natural order.

Parameters:

capacity - the initial capacity of this queue.

CharArrayPriorityQueue

public CharArrayPriorityQueue(CharComparator c)

Creates a new empty queue with a given comparator.

Parameters:

c - the comparator used in this queue, or null for the natural order.

CharArrayPriorityQueue

public CharArrayPriorityQueue()

Creates a new empty queue using 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.

CharArrayPriorityQueue

public CharArrayPriorityQueue(char[] a,
 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.

c - the comparator used in this queue, or null for the natural order.

CharArrayPriorityQueue

public CharArrayPriorityQueue(char[] a,
 int size)

Wraps a given array in a queue using the natural order.

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.

CharArrayPriorityQueue

public CharArrayPriorityQueue(char[] a)

Wraps a given array in a queue using the natural order.

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

Parameters:

a - an array.

clear

public void clear()

Description copied from interface: PriorityQueue

Removes all elements from this queue.

Specified by:

clear in interface PriorityQueue<Character>

trim

public void trim()

Trims the underlying array so that it has exactly size() elements.

comparator

public CharComparator comparator()

Description copied from interface: CharPriorityQueue

Returns the comparator associated with this priority queue, or null if it uses its elements' natural ordering.

Specified by:

comparator in interface CharPriorityQueue

Specified by:

comparator in interface PriorityQueue<Character>

Returns:

the comparator associated with this priority queue.
