priority queue in algorithms
A priority queue is a data structure used in algorithms to store elements with associated priorities. It allows efficient access to the element with the highest priority. The elements are stored based on their priorities and can be retrieved in a specific order based on these priorities. This data structure is commonly used in various algorithms, such as Dijkstra's algorithm and Huffman coding.
