Class MaxPriorityQueue<E, R>

Max-oriented priority queue (max-heap) built on PriorityQueue. The default comparator orders primitive values in descending order. If you store objects, you must provide a custom comparator via PriorityQueueOptions.

Example

Type Parameters

E = any
Element type stored in the queue.
R = any
Extra record/metadata associated with each element.
