max-priority queue
A max-priority queue is a data structure that stores a collection of elements with associated priorities. It allows for efficient retrieval of the element with the highest priority. The priority of an element determines its relative position in the queue, where higher priority elements are considered more important. In a max-priority queue, two main operations are performed: insertion and deletion of elements. When an element is inserted, it is placed in the appropriate position based on its priority, ensuring that the element with the highest priority remains at the front of the queue. On the other hand, when an element is deleted, the highest priority element is removed from the queue, allowing the next highest priority element to take its place. Overall, a max-priority queue provides a way to prioritize and efficiently access elements based on their relative importance or urgency.
