public class CharHeapPriorityQueue
extends AbstractCharPriorityQueue

A type-specific heap-based priority queue.

Instances of this class represent a priority queue using a heap. The heap is enlarged as needed, but it is never shrunk. Use the trim() method to reduce its size, if necessary.


Constructor Summary
CharHeapPriorityQueue()
          Creates a new empty queue using the natural order.
CharHeapPriorityQueue(char[] a)
          Wraps a given array in a queue using the natural order.
CharHeapPriorityQueue(char[] a, CharComparator c)

CharHeapPriorityQueue(char[] a, int size)
          Wraps a given array in a queue using the natural order.
CharHeapPriorityQueue(char[] a, int size, CharComparator c)
          Wraps a given array in a queue using a given comparator.
CharHeapPriorityQueue(CharComparator c)
          Creates a new empty queue with a given comparator.
CharHeapPriorityQueue(int capacity)
          Creates a new empty queue with a given capacity and using the natural order.
CharHeapPriorityQueue(int capacity, CharComparator c)
          Creates a new empty queue with a given capacity and comparator.
 
Method Summary
 void changed()
          Notifies the queue that the first element has changed (optional operation).
 void clear()
          Removes all elements from this queue.
 CharComparator comparator()
          Returns the comparator associated with this sorted set, or null if it uses its elements' natural ordering.
 char dequeueChar()
          Dequeues the first element from the queue.
 void enqueue(char x)
          Enqueues a new element.
 char firstChar()
          Returns the first element of the queue.
 int size()
          Returns the number of elements in this queue.
 void trim()
          Trims the underlying heap array so that it has exactly size() elements.

Constructor Detail

CharHeapPriorityQueue

public CharHeapPriorityQueue(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.

CharHeapPriorityQueue

public CharHeapPriorityQueue(int capacity)
Creates a new empty queue with a given capacity and using the natural order.

Parameters:
capacity - the initial capacity of this queue.

CharHeapPriorityQueue

public CharHeapPriorityQueue(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.

CharHeapPriorityQueue

public CharHeapPriorityQueue()
Creates a new empty queue using the natural order.


CharHeapPriorityQueue

public CharHeapPriorityQueue(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. The first size element of the array will be rearranged so to form a heap (this is more efficient than enqueing the elements of a one by one).

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.

CharHeapPriorityQueue

public CharHeapPriorityQueue(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. The elements of the array will be rearranged so to form a heap (this is more efficient than enqueing the elements of a one by one).

Parameters:
a - an array.
c - the comparator used in this queue, or null for the natural order.

CharHeapPriorityQueue

public CharHeapPriorityQueue(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. The first size element of the array will be rearranged so to form a heap (this is more efficient than enqueing the elements of a one by one).

Parameters:
a - an array.
size - the number of elements to be included in the queue.

CharHeapPriorityQueue

public CharHeapPriorityQueue(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. The elements of the array will be rearranged so to form a heap (this is more efficient than enqueing the elements of a one by one).

Parameters:
a - an array.
Method Detail

enqueue

public void enqueue(char x)
Description copied from interface: CharPriorityQueue
Enqueues a new element.

Parameters:
x - the element to enqueue.

public char dequeueChar()
Description copied from interface: CharPriorityQueue
Dequeues the first element from the queue.

Returns:
the dequeued element.

firstChar

public char firstChar()
Description copied from interface: CharPriorityQueue
Returns the first element of the queue.

Returns:
