package structures

// This example demonstrates a priority queue built using the heap interface.

import (
	"container/heap"
)

// entry 是 priorityQueue 中的元素
type entry struct {
	key      string
	priority int
	// index 是 entry 在 heap 中的索引号
	// entry 加入 Priority Queue 后， Priority 会变化时，很有用
	// 如果 entry.priority 一直不变的话，可以删除 index
	index int
