Implementation of Priority Queue using Linked List in Java
Implementation of Priority Queue using Linked List in Java
Normal queue follows a First In First Out (FIFO) order to insert and remove an element. However, in a priority queue, an item with the highest priority comes out first. On this page we will discuss priority queue implementation using linked list.
Priority Queue Implementation using Array
Every element in the priority queue is associated with a priority. It does not matter in which order we insert the items in the queue, the item with higher priority must be removed before the item with the lower priority. If the two items have same priorities, the order of removal is not defined and depends on implementation.
OPERATIONS IN PRIORITY QUEUE :
- insert(): This function is used to insert a new data into the queue.
- delete(): This function removes the element with the highest priority form the queue.
- peek() : This function is used to get the highest priority element in the queue without removing it from the queue.

Priority Queue Insertion and Deletion
ALGORITHM:
For Insertion :
- START
- USE FUNCTION INSERT
static Node insert(Node head, int d, int p) { Node start = (head); // Create new Node Node tp = newNode(d, p); if ((head).prioritydata > p) { // Insert New Node before head tp.link = head; (head) = tp; } else { while (start.link != null && start.link.prioritydata < p) { start = start.link; } tp.link = start.link; start.link = tp; } return head; }
- END
For Deletion :
- START
- USE FUNCTION DELETE
static Node delete(Node head) { Node tp = head; (head) = (head).link; return head; }
- END
Java code to implement priority queue using queue class
import java.util.*; class Main { static class Node { int data; int prioritydata; Node next; } static Node node = new Node (); static Node newNode (int d, int p) { Node tp = new Node (); tp.data = d; tp.prioritydata = p; tp.next = null; return tp; } // Return the value at head static int peek (Node head) { return (head).data; } //delete the element with the high priority static Node delete (Node head) { Node tp = head; (head) = (head).next; return head; } // Function to insert element static Node insert (Node head, int d, int p) { Node start = (head); // Create new Node Node tp = newNode (d, p); if ((head).prioritydata > p) { // Insert New Node before head tp.next = head; (head) = tp; } else { while (start.next != null && start.next.prioritydata < p) { start = start.next; } tp.next = start.next; start.next = tp; } return head; } // Function to check is list is empty static int isEmpty (Node head) { return ((head) == null) ? 1 : 0; } // Driver code public static void main (String args[]) { // Create a Priority Queue // 20 and 40 and 60 and 80 Node pq = newNode (40, 1); pq = insert (pq, 80, 2); pq = insert (pq, 60, 3); pq = insert (pq, 20, 0); while (isEmpty (pq) == 0) { System.out.println (peek (pq)); pq = delete (pq); } } }
Output : 20 40 80 60
