Time and Space Complexity
- Time complexity: O(log n), where n is the number of nodes.
- Space complexity: O(n), where n is the number of elements in the priority queue.
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.
