PriorityQueue class allows using a compare function between values. MinPriorityQueue & MaxPriorityQueue can be used for primitive values and objects with known comparison prop.
const {
PriorityQueue,
MinPriorityQueue,
MaxPriorityQueue,
} = require('@datastructures-js/priority-queue');
import {
PriorityQueue,
MinPriorityQueue,
MaxPriorityQueue,
ICompare,
IGetCompareValue,
} from '@datastructures-js/priority-queue';
constructor requires a compare function that works similar to javascript sort callback, returning a number bigger than 0, means swap elements.
interface ICar {
year: number;
price: number;
}
const compareCars: ICompare<ICar> = (a: ICar, b: ICar) => {
if (a.year > b.year) {
return -1;
}
if (a.year < b.year) {
// prioritize newest cars
return 1;
}
// with lowest price
return a.price < b.price ? -1 : 1;
};
const carsQueue = new PriorityQueue<ICar>(compareCars);
const carsQueue = new PriorityQueue((a, b) => {
if (a.year > b.year) {
return -1;
}
if (a.year < b.year) {
// prioratize newest cars
return 1;
}
// with lowest price
return a.price < b.price ? -1 : 1;
}
});
constructor requires a callback for object values to indicate which prop is used for comparison, and does not require any for primitive values like numbers or strings.
const numbersQueue = new MinPriorityQueue<number>();
interface IBid {
id: number;
value: number;
}
const getBidValue: IGetCompareValue<IBid> = (bid) => bid.value;
const bidsQueue = new MaxPriorityQueue<IBid>(getBidValue);
const numbersQueue = new MinPriorityQueue();
const bidsQueue = new MaxPriorityQueue((bid) => bid.value);
If the queue is being created from an existing array, and there is no desire to use an extra O(n) space, this static function can turn an array into a priority queue in O(n*log(n)) runtime.
const numbers = [3, -2, 5, 0, -1, -5, 4];
const pq = PriorityQueue.fromArray<number>(numbers, (a, b) => a - b);
console.log(numbers); // [-5, -1, -2, 3, 0, 5, 4]
pq.dequeue(); // -5
pq.dequeue(); // -2
pq.dequeue(); // -1
console.log(numbers); // [ 0, 3, 4, 5 ]
const numbers = [3, -2, 5, 0, -1, -5, 4];
const pq = PriorityQueue.fromArray(numbers, (a, b) => a - b);
console.log(numbers); // [-5, -1, -2, 3, 0, 5, 4]
pq.dequeue(); // -5
pq.dequeue(); // -2
pq.dequeue(); // -1
console.log(numbers); // [ 0, 3, 4, 5 ]
const numbers = [3, -2, 5, 0, -1, -5, 4];
const mpq = MaxPriorityQueue.fromArray<number>(numbers);
console.log(numbers); // [-5, -1, -2, 3, 0, 5, 4]
mpq.dequeue(); // 5
mpq.dequeue(); // 4
mpq.dequeue(); // 3
console.log(numbers); // [ 0, -1, -5, -2 ]
const numbers = [3, -2, 5, 0, -1, -5, 4];
const mpq = MaxPriorityQueue.fromArray(numbers);
console.log(numbers); // [-5, -1, -2, 3, 0, 5, 4]
mpq.dequeue(); // 5
mpq.dequeue(); // 4
mpq.dequeue(); // 3
console.log(numbers); // [ 0, -1, -5, -2 ]
adds a value based on its comparison with other values in the queue in O(log(n)) runtime.
const cars = [
{ year: 2013, price: 35000 },
{ year: 2010, price: 2000 },
{ year: 2013, price: 30000 },
{ year: 2017, price: 50000 },
{ year: 2013, price: 25000 },
{ year: 2015, price: 40000 },
{ year: 2022, price: 70000 }
];
cars.forEach((car) => carsQueue.enqueue(car));
const numbers = [3, -2, 5, 0, -1, -5, 4];
numbers.forEach((num) => numbersQueue.push(num)); // push is an alias for enqueue
const bids = [
{ id: 1, value: 1000 },
{ id: 2, value: 20000 },
{ id: 3, value: 1000 },
{ id: 4, value: 1500 },
{ id: 5, value: 12000 },
{ id: 6, value: 4000 },
{ id: 7, value: 8000 }
];
bids.forEach((bid) => bidsQueue.enqueue(bid));
peeks on the value with highest priority in the queue.
console.log(carsQueue.front()); // { year: 2022, price: 70000 }
console.log(numbersQueue.front()); // -5
console.log(bidsQueue.front()); // { id: 2, value: 20000 }
peeks on the value with a lowest priority in the queue.
console.log(carsQueue.back()); // { year: 2010, price: 2000 }
console.log(numbersQueue.back()); // 5
console.log(bidsQueue.back()); // { id: 1, value: 1000 }
removes and returns the element with highest priority in the queue in O(log(n)) runtime.
console.log(carsQueue.dequeue()); // { year: 2022, price: 70000 }
console.log(carsQueue.dequeue()); // { year: 2017, price: 50000 }
console.log(carsQueue.dequeue()); // { year: 2015, price: 40000 }
console.log(numbersQueue.dequeue()); // -5
console.log(numbersQueue.dequeue()); // -2
console.log(numbersQueue.dequeue()); // -1
console.log(bidsQueue.pop()); // { id: 2, value: 20000 }
console.log(bidsQueue.pop()); // { id: 5, value: 12000 }
console.log(bidsQueue.pop()); // { id: 7, value: 8000 }
checks if the queue is empty.
console.log(carsQueue.isEmpty()); // false
console.log(numbersQueue.isEmpty()); // false
console.log(bidsQueue.isEmpty()); // false
returns the number of elements in the queue.
console.log(carsQueue.size()); // 4
console.log(numbersQueue.size()); // 4
console.log(bidsQueue.size()); // 4
returns a sorted array of elements by their priorities from highest to lowest in O(n*log(n)) runtime.
console.log(carsQueue.toArray());
/*
[
{ year: 2013, price: 25000 },
{ year: 2013, price: 30000 },
{ year: 2013, price: 35000 },
{ year: 2010, price: 2000 }
]
*/
console.log(numbersQueue.toArray()); // [ 0, 3, 4, 5 ]
console.log(bidsQueue.toArray());
/*
[
{ id: 6, value: 4000 },
{ id: 4, value: 1500 },
{ id: 3, value: 1000 },
{ id: 1, value: 1000 }
]
*/
clears all elements in the queue.
carsQueue.clear();
console.log(carsQueue.size()); // 0
console.log(carsQueue.front()); // null
console.log(carsQueue.dequeue()); // null
console.log(carsQueue.isEmpty()); // true
numbersQueue.clear();

console.log(numbersQueue.front()); // null
