Likewise, you can represent a queue as a priority queue with key = i, where i is an integer monotonically increasing at insertion time. And you can represent a stack as a priority queue where key = -i. This is the insight behind the decorate-sort-undecorate pattern; it's just heapsort, with a different key function allowing you to represent several different algorithms. |
