E - the type of elements held in this collectionpublic class PriorityQueue<E> extends AbstractQueue<E> implements Serializable
Comparator provided
at queue construction time, depending on which constructor is used. A
priority queue does not permit null elements. A priority queue
relying on natural ordering also does not permit insertion of non-comparable
objects (doing so may result in ClassCastException).
The head of this queue is the least element with respect to
the specified ordering. If multiple elements are tied for least value, the
head is one of those elements -- ties are broken arbitrarily. The queue
retrieval operations poll, remove, peek, and
element access the element at the head of the queue.
A priority queue is unbounded, but has an internal capacity governing the size of an array used to store the elements on the queue. It is always at least as large as the queue size. As elements are added to a priority queue, its capacity grows automatically. The details of the growth policy are not specified.
This class and its iterator implement all of the optional methods of
the Collection and Iterator interfaces. The Iterator provided
in method iterator() is not guaranteed to traverse the
elements of the priority queue in any particular order. If you need ordered
traversal, consider using Arrays.sort(pq.toArray()).
Note that this implementation is not synchronized. Multiple
threads should not access a PriorityQueue instance concurrently if
any of the threads modifies the queue. Instead, use the thread-safe
PriorityBlockingQueue class.
Implementation note: this implementation provides O(log(n)) time for the
enqueuing and dequeuing methods (offer, poll,
remove() and add); linear time for the remove(Object)
and contains(Object) methods; and constant time for the retrieval
methods (peek, element, and size).
This class is a member of the Java Collections Framework.

The returned array will be "safe" in that no references to it are maintained by this queue. (In other words, this method must allocate a new array). The caller is thus free to modify the returned array.
This method acts as bridge between array-based and collection-based APIs.
toArray in interface Collection<E>toArray in class AbstractCollection<E>public <T> T[] toArray(T[] a)
If the queue fits in the specified array with room to spare (i.e., the
array has more elements than the queue), the element in the array
immediately following the end of the collection is set to null.
Like the toArray() method, this method acts as bridge between
array-based and collection-based APIs. Further, this method allows
precise control over the runtime type of the output array, and may, under
certain circumstances, be used to save allocation costs.
Suppose x is a queue known to contain only strings. The following
code can be used to dump the queue into a newly allocated array of
String:
{
@code
String[] y = x.toArray(new String[0]);
}
Note that toArray(new Object[0]) is identical in function to
toArray().toArray in interface Collection<E>toArray in class AbstractCollection<E>a - the array into which the elements of the queue are to be
stored, if it is big enough; otherwise, a new array of the
same runtime type is allocated for this purpose.ArrayStoreException - if the runtime type of the specified array is not a supertype
