We can clear the contents just by reassigning the container element to an empty array. For example, clear() {    this.container = []; }ExampleYou can check if this function is working fine using − let q = new PriorityQueue(4); q.enqueue("Hello", 3); q.enqueue("World", 2); q.enqueue("Foo", 8); q.display(); q.clear(); q.display();OutputThis will give the output −[ { data: 'World', priority: 2 },   { data: 'Hello', priority: 3 },   { data: 'Foo', priority: 8 } ] [ ]

Peeking a PriorityQueue means getting the value with the highest priority without removing it. So we can implement the peek function as follows &minusl Examplepeek() {    if (isEmpty()) {       console.log("Queue Underflow!");       return;    }    return this.container[this.container.length - 1]; }You can check if this function is working fine using − Examplelet q = new PriorityQueue(4); q.enqueue("Hello", 3); q.enqueue("World", 2); q.enqueue("Foo", 8); console.log(q.peek()); q.display();OutputThis will give the output −{ data: 'Foo', priority: 8 } [ { data: 'World', priority: 2 },    { data: 'Hello', priority: 3 },    { data: 'Foo', priority: 8 } ]As ...

Dequeuing elements from a PriorityQueue means removing the element of the highest priority. We are storing the elements with the highest priority at the end of the array, we can simply pop it to dequeue it.Hence, we can implement the dequeue function as follows − Exampledequeue() {    // Check if empty    if (this.isEmpty()) {       console.log("Queue Underflow!");       return;    }    return this.container.pop(); }You can check if this function is working fine usinglet q = new PriorityQueue(4); q.enqueue("Hello", 3); q.enqueue("World", 2); q.enqueue("Foo", 8); console.log(q.dequeue()); q.display();OutputThis will give the output −{ data: 'Foo', priority: 8 ...

Enqueuing elements to a PriorityQueue means adding them in the array in order of the priority of the element. We'll consider higher numbers to be higher priorities. We'll loop through the container till we find a lower priority and then add the element there. If not, then we'll push it at the end of the container.Note that we're creating the element object with the data and priority. Hence we can implement the enqueue function as follows −  Exampleenqueue(data, priority) {    // Check if Queue is full    if (this.isFull()) {       console.log("Queue Overflow!");       return; ...

Our class will have the following functions −enqueue(element): Function to add an element in the queue.dequeue(): Function that removes an element from the queue.peek(): Returns the element from the front of the queue.isFull(): Checks if we reached the element limit on the queue.isEmpty(): checks if the queue is empty.clear(): Remove all elements.display(): display all contents of the arrayLet's start by defining a simple class with a constructor that takes the max size of the queue and a helper function that'll help us when we implement the other functions for this class. We'll also have to define another structure as part ... Read More

In this article, we are going to discuss the priority queue data structure in JavaScript. A priority queue is an abstract data type (ADT) which is like a regular queue or stack data structure, but where additionally each element has a "priority" associated with it. In a priority queue, an element with high priority is served before an element with low priority. If two elements have the same priority, they are served according to their order in the queue. Example 1 The following example demonstrates the priority queue class data structure in JavaScript. Here, we insert the elements into the ... Read More

Here is the complete implementation of the Queue class −Exampleclass Queue {    constructor(maxSize) {       // Set default max size if not provided       if (isNaN(maxSize)) {          maxSize = 10;       }       this.maxSize = maxSize;       // Init an array that'll contain the queue values.       this.container = [];     }    // Helper function to display all values while developing    display() {       console.log(this.container);    }    // Checks if queue is empty    isEmpty() {   ...

We can clear the contents just by reassigning the container element to an empty array. For example, clear() {    this.container = []; }ExampleYou can check if this function is working fine using:let q = new Queue(2); q.enqueue(3); q.enqueue(4); q.display(); q.clear(); q.display();OutputThis will give the output:[ 3, 4 ] [ ]

Peeking a Queue means getting the value at the head of the Queue. So we can implement the peek function as follows − EXamplepeek() {    if (isEmpty()) {       console.log("Queue Underflow!");       return;    }    return this.container[0]; }You can check if this function is working fine using − Examplelet q = new Queue(2); q.enqueue(3); q.enqueue(4); console.log(q.peek()); q.display();OutputThis will give the output −3 [ 3, 4 ]As you can see here, peek() differs from dequeue in that it just returns the front value without removing it.

Dequeuing elements from a Queue means removing them from the front/head of the queue. We are taking the start of the container array to be the head of the queue as we'll perform all operations with respect to it.Hence, we can implement the pop function as follows − Exampledequeue() {    // Check if empty    if (this.isEmpty()) {       console.log("Queue Underflow!");       return;    }    return this.container.shift(); }You can check if this function is working fine using − Examplelet q = new Queue(2); q.dequeue(); q.enqueue(3); q.enqueue(4); console.log(q.dequeue()); q.display();OutputThis will give the output −Queue Underflow! 3 [ ...
