Given a priority queue with the following tasks and their priorities: (A, 3), (B, 5), (C, 2). Insert them into a two-dimensional structure. Then, delete the max and show the state of the structure.
💡 Hint: Remember how to determine the correct row and position for each insertion.
Critically analyze the efficiency of your two-dimensional structure for 100 jobs, state the impacts of the algorithmic complexity on performance and how it compares with heaps.
💡 Hint: Think about the trade-offs in performance and the practical applications of each structure.
