The priority queue is a container adaptor that provides constant time lookup of the largest (by default) element, at the expense of logarithmic insertion and extraction.
A user-provided Compare
can be supplied to change the ordering, e.g. using std::greater<T> would cause the smallest element to appear as the top().
Working with a priority_queue
is similar to managing a heap in some random access container, with the benefit of not being able to accidentally invalidate the heap.

[edit] Template parameters
T | - | The type of the stored elements. The program is ill-formed if T is not the same type as Container::value_type .
|
Container | - | The type of the underlying container to use to store the elements. The container must satisfy the requirements of SequenceContainer, and its iterators must satisfy the requirements of LegacyRandomAccessIterator. Additionally, it must provide the following functions with the usual semantics:
The standard containers std::vector (including |
Compare | - | A Compare type providing a strict weak ordering.
Note that the Compare parameter is defined such that it returns true if its first argument comes before its second argument in a weak ordering. But because the priority queue outputs largest elements first, the elements that "come before" are actually output last. That is, the front of the queue contains the "last" element according to the weak ordering imposed by Compare. |

#include <functional> #include <iostream> #include <queue> #include <string_view> #include <vector> template<typename T> void pop_println(std::string_view rem, T& pq) { std::cout << rem << ": "; for (; !pq.empty(); pq.pop()) std::cout << pq.top() << ' '; std::cout << '\n'; } template<typename T> void println(std::string_view rem, const T& v) { std::cout << rem << ": "; for (const auto& e : v) std::cout << e << ' '; std::cout << '\n'; } int main() { const auto data = {1, 8, 5, 6, 3, 4, 0, 9, 7, 2}; println("data", data); std::priority_queue<int> max_priority_queue; // Fill the priority queue. for (int n : data) max_priority_queue.push(n); pop_println("max_priority_queue", max_priority_queue); // std::greater<int> makes the max priority queue act as a min priority queue. std::priority_queue<int, std::vector<int>, std::greater<int>> min_priority_queue1(data.begin(), data.end()); pop_println("min_priority_queue1", min_priority_queue1); // Second way to define a min priority queue. std::priority_queue min_priority_queue2(data.begin(), data.end(), std::greater<int>()); pop_println("min_priority_queue2", min_priority_queue2); // Using a custom function object to compare elements. struct { bool operator()(const int l, const int r) const { return l > r; } } customLess; std::priority_queue custom_priority_queue(data.begin(), data.end(), customLess); pop_println("custom_priority_queue", custom_priority_queue); // Using lambda to compare elements. auto cmp = [](int left, int right) { return (left ^ 1) < (right ^ 1); }; std::priority_queue<int, std::vector<int>, decltype(cmp)> lambda_priority_queue(cmp); for (int n : data) lambda_priority_queue.push(n); pop_println("lambda_priority_queue", lambda_priority_queue); }
Output:
