You might like IntervalHeap from the C5 Generic Collection Library. To quote the user guide
Class
IntervalHeap<T>
implements interfaceIPriorityQueue<T>
using an interval heap stored as an array of pairs. TheFindMin
andFindMax
operations, and the indexer’s get-accessor, take time O(1). TheDeleteMin
,DeleteMax
, Add and Update operations, and the indexer’s set-accessor, take time O(log n). In contrast to an ordinary priority queue, an interval heap offers both minimum and maximum operations with the same efficiency.
The API is simple enough
> var heap = new C5.IntervalHeap<int>();
> heap.Add(10);
> heap.Add(5);
> heap.FindMin();

Some tests:
[TestClass]
public class HeapTests
{
[TestMethod]
public void TestHeapBySorting()
{
var minHeap = new MinHeap<int>(new[] {9, 8, 4, 1, 6, 2, 7, 4, 1, 2});
AssertHeapSort(minHeap, minHeap.OrderBy(i => i).ToArray());
minHeap = new MinHeap<int> { 7, 5, 1, 6, 3, 2, 4, 1, 2, 1, 3, 4, 7 };
AssertHeapSort(minHeap, minHeap.OrderBy(i => i).ToArray());
var maxHeap = new MaxHeap<int>(new[] {1, 5, 3, 2, 7, 56, 3, 1, 23, 5, 2, 1});
AssertHeapSort(maxHeap, maxHeap.OrderBy(d => -d).ToArray());
maxHeap = new MaxHeap<int> {2, 6, 1, 3, 56, 1, 4, 7, 8, 23, 4, 5, 7, 34, 1, 4};
AssertHeapSort(maxHeap, maxHeap.OrderBy(d => -d).ToArray());
}
private static void AssertHeapSort(Heap<int> heap, IEnumerable<int> expected)
{
var sorted = new List<int>();
while (heap.Count > 0)
sorted.Add(heap.ExtractDominating());
Assert.IsTrue(sorted.SequenceEqual(expected));
}
}
I like using the OrderedBag
and OrderedSet
classes in PowerCollections as priority queues.
here's one i just wrote, maybe it's not as optimized (just uses a sorted dictionary) but simple to understand. you can insert objects of different kinds, so no generic queues.
using System;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
namespace PrioQueue
{
public class PrioQueue
{
int total_size;
SortedDictionary<int, Queue> storage;
public PrioQueue ()
{
this.storage = new SortedDictionary<int, Queue> ();
this.total_size = 0;
}
public bool IsEmpty ()
{
return (total_size == 0);
}
public object Dequeue ()
{
if (IsEmpty ()) {
throw new Exception ("Please check that priorityQueue is not empty before dequeing");
} else
foreach (Queue q in storage.Values) {
// we use a sorted dictionary
if (q.Count > 0) {
total_size--;
return q.Dequeue ();
}
}
Debug.Assert(false,"not supposed to reach here. problem with changing total_size");
return null; // not supposed to reach here.
}
// same as above, except for peek.
public object Peek ()
{
if (IsEmpty ())
throw new Exception ("Please check that priorityQueue is not empty before peeking");
else
foreach (Queue q in storage.Values) {
if (q.Count > 0)
return q.Peek ();
}
Debug.Assert(false,"not supposed to reach here. problem with changing total_size");
return null; // not supposed to reach here.
}
public object Dequeue (int prio)
{
total_size--;
return storage[prio].Dequeue ();
}
public void Enqueue (object item, int prio)
{
if (!storage.ContainsKey (prio)) {
storage.Add (prio, new Queue ());
}
storage[prio].Enqueue (item);
total_size++;
}
}
}
