Java Program to implement Priority Queue

This is a Java Program to implement Priority Queue. A priority queue is an abstract data type 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. Here priority queue is implemented using a max heap.

Here is the source code of the Java Program to implement Priority Queue. The Java program is successfully compiled and run on a Windows system. The program output is also shown below.
