(A heap implementation is planned aswell) %%%---------------------------------------------------------------------- %%% The items of the queue is kept priority sorted, and because of that, %%% a push() operation costs more than a pop() operation (wich only %%% needs to return the top item of the queue(read: list)). %%%---------------------------------------------------------------------- %%% The priority queue can be deceptively nice to use when creating for %%% example a Huffman coding tree. %%% See http://web2.airmail.net/markn/articles/pq_stl/priority.htm or %%% Dr.Dobb's Journal Jan, 96 for more information on this. %%%---------------------------------------------------------------------- %%% Used here strictly as something for dbg_SUITE to run. -module(dbg_test). -export([test/1, loop/1]). -export([new/0, push/3, pop/1]). loop(Config) -> test(Config), receive {dbg_test, stop} -> ok; Other -> loop(Config) end, ok. test(Config) -> Q1=new(), Q2=push(Q1, "monkey", 3), Q3=push(Q2, "banana", 4), Q4=push(Q3, "jungle", 2), Q5=push(Q4, "world", 5), Q6=push(Q5, "universe",6), Q7=push(Q6, "peanut", 1), % io:format("~p~n",[Q7]), {Itm, Q8}=pop(Q7), ok. %% Returns a new priority queue. new() -> []. %% Pushes a new item with a set priority into the queue. push(Queue, Itm, Pri) -> insert(Queue, Itm, Pri, []). %% Pops the item with the highest priority out of the queue. pop([{Itm, Pri}|Queue]) -> {Itm, Queue}. %% --- -- - %% Support functions. insert([], Itm, Pri, NewQ) -> lists:flatten([lists:reverse(NewQ)|[{Itm, Pri}]]); % Itm>QItm>NewQ>Queue insert([{QItm,QPri}|Queue], Itm, Pri, NewQ) when Pri>QPri-> A = [{Itm, Pri}|[{QItm, QPri}]], lists:flatten([[A|NewQ]|Queue]); insert([QItm|Rest], Itm, Pri, NewQ) -> insert(Rest, Itm, Pri, [QItm|NewQ]). %% --- -- -
