For this assignment, you will write one implementation of a Priority Queue. For this ADT, removal operations always return the object in the queue of highest priority that has been in the queue the longest. That is, no object of a given priority is ever removed as long as the queue contains one or more object of a higher priority. Within a given priority FIFO order must be preserved.

Your implementation will be:

1. BinaryHeap

The implementation must have identical behavior, and must implement the PriorityQueue interface (provided). The implementation must have two constructors, a default constructor with no arguments that uses the DEFAULT_MAX_CAPACITY constant from the PriorityQueue interface, and a constructor that takes a single integer parameter that represents the maximum capacity of the priority queue.

The PriorityQueue interface follows:

/* The PriorityQueue ADT may store objects in any order. However,

  • ** removal of objects from the PQ must follow specific criteria. The

  • ** object of highest priority that has been in the PQ longest must be

  • ** the object returned by the remove() method. FIFO return order

  • ** must be preserved for objects of identical priority. **

  • ** Ranking of objects by priority is determined by the Comparable

  • ** interface. All objects inserted into the PQ must implement this ** interface. */ package data_structures;

    import java.util.Iterator; 

    public interface PriorityQueue> extends Iterable { public static final int DEFAULT_MAX_CAPACITY = 1000;

// Inserts a new object into the priority queue. Returns true if // the insertion is successful. If the PQ is full, the insertion // is aborted, and the method returns false. public boolean insert(E object);

// Removes the object of highest priority that has been in the // PQ the longest, and returns it. Returns null if the PQ is empty. public E remove();

// Deletes all instances of the parameter obj from the PQ if found, and // returns true. Returns false if no match to the parameter obj is found. public boolean delete(E obj);

// Returns the object of highest priority that has been in the // PQ the longest, but does NOT remove it. // Returns null if the PQ is empty. public E peek();

// Returns true if the priority queue contains the specified element // false otherwise. public boolean contains(E obj);

// Returns the number of objects currently in the PQ. public int size();

 // Returns the PQ to an empty state. public void clear(); 

// Returns true if the PQ is empty, otherwise false public boolean isEmpty();

// Returns true if the PQ is full, otherwise false. List based // implementations should always return false. public boolean isFull();

// Returns an iterator of the objects in the PQ, in no particular // order. public Iterator iterator();
