The {!Pqueue} module implements a data structure of priority queues, given a totally ordered type for elements. This is a mutable data structure. Both min- and max-priority queues are provided. The implementation uses a heap stored in a dynamic array, and is therefore reasonably efficient: accessing the minimum (resp. maximum) element takes constant time, and insertion and removal take time logarithmic in the size of the priority queue. Note that [of_array] runs in linear time (and thus must be preferred to repeated insertions with [add]). It is fine to have several elements with the same priority. Nothing is guaranteed regarding the order in which they will be popped. However, it is guaranteed that the element returned by [min_elt] (or [get_min_elt]) is the one that is removed from the priority queue by [pop_min] (or [remove_min]). This is important in many algorithms, (e.g. when peeking at several priority queues and then selecting one to remove from). @since 5.4 *) module type OrderedType = sig type t (** The type of elements. *) val compare : t -> t -> int (** A total ordering function to compare elements.
