Applications of the Priority Queue in C
- It can applies on the Dijkstra’s and prim’s algorithms is used for the finding the shortest path and minimum spanning tree in graph theory.
- It can used in CPU Scheduling in the operating systems use the priority queues to the manage process scheduling.
- It can applies on the Bandwidth Management used in network routers to manage the packet transmission priority.
- It can applies on Event Simulation for the manages events in the simulations based on their scheduled time.
C Program to Implement Priority Queue
Priority queue is an abstract data type(ADT) in the computer science which is designed to the operate much like the regular queue except that each element has the certain priority. The priority can determines the order in which elements are dequeued – elements with the higher priority are removed from queue before those with lower priority. It can makes the priority queues an essential tool in the scenarios where the some tasks inherently take the precedence over others.
In this article, we will implement the priority queue using C program.
