Question 1

What operation is performed to remove the highest priority item from a priority queue?

  • Insert
  • Delete min
  • Delete max

💡 Hint: Remember the two primary operations of a priority queue.

Question 2

True or False: An unsorted list allows for faster retrieval of the maximum priority item compared to a sorted list.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about how the items in each list are organized.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Construct a priority queue using a two-dimensional array, and perform a series of inserts and deletes. Provide a computational analysis of the operations.

💡 Hint: Track operations clearly with comments in your code for analysis.

Question 2

Evaluate which priority queue structure (unsorted, sorted, or heap) would be optimal for a system processing 1000 jobs with varied priority levels. Justify your answer.

💡 Hint: Consider not only time complexity but also real-world factors like memory overhead.
