priority_queue::priority_queue
Constructs a priority_queue that is empty or that is a copy of a range of a base container object or of another priority_queue.

const Traits& __Comp,

);
template<class InputIterator>
priority_queue(
InputIterator _First,
InputIterator _Last,
const Traits& __Comp,
const container_type& _Cont
);
Parameters
__Comp
The comparison function of type constTraits used to order the elements in the priority_queue, which defaults to compare function of the base container._Cont
The base container of which the constructed priority_queue is to be a copy._Right
The priority_queue of which the constructed set is to be a copy._First
The position of the first element in the range of elements to be copied._Last
The position of the first element beyond the range of elements to be copied.
Remarks
Each of the first three constructors specifies an empty initial priority_queue, the second also specifying the type of comparison function (_Comp) to be used in establishing the order of the elements and the third explicitly specifying the container_type (_Cont) to be used. The keyword explicit suppresses certain kinds of automatic type conversion.
The fourth constructor specifies a copy of the priority_queue _Right.
The last three constructors copy the range [_First, _Last) of some container and use the values to initialize a priority_queue with increasing explicitness in specifying the type of comparison function of class Traits and container_type.
Example
// pqueue_ctor.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <queue>
#include <vector>
#include <deque>
#include <list>
#include <iostream>
int main( )
{
using namespace std;
// The first member function declares priority_queue
// with a default vector base container
priority_queue <int> q1;
cout << "q1 = ( ";
while ( !q1.empty( ) )
{
cout << q1.top( ) << " ";
q1.pop( );
}
cout << ")" << endl;
// Explicitly declares a priority_queue with nondefault
// deque base container
priority_queue <int, deque <int> > q2;
q2.push( 5 );
q2.push( 15 );

cout << "q2 = ( ";
while ( !q2.empty( ) )
{
cout << q2.top( ) << " ";

}
cout << ")" << endl;
// This method of printing out the elements of a priority_queue
// removes the elements from the priority queue, leaving it empty
cout << "After printing, q2 has " << q2.size( ) << " elements." << endl;
// The third member function declares a priority_queue
// with a vector base container and specifies that the comparison
// function greater is to be used for ordering elements
priority_queue <int, vector<int>, greater<int> > q3;
q3.push( 2 );
q3.push( 1 );
q3.push( 3 );
cout << "q3 = ( ";
while ( !q3.empty( ) )
{
cout << q3.top( ) << " ";
q3.pop( );
}
cout << ")" << endl;
// The fourth member function declares a priority_queue and
// initializes it with elements copied from another container:
// first, inserting elements into q1, then copying q1 elements into q4
q1.push( 100 );
q1.push( 200 );
priority_queue <int> q4( q1 );
cout << "q4 = ( ";
while ( !q4.empty( ) )
{
cout << q4.top( ) << " ";
q4.pop( );
}
cout << ")" << endl;
// Creates an auxiliary vector object v5 to be used to initialize q5
vector <int> v5;
vector <int>::iterator v5_Iter;
v5.push_back( 10 );
v5.push_back( 30 );
v5.push_back( 20 );
cout << "v5 = ( " ;
for ( v5_Iter = v5.begin( ) ; v5_Iter != v5.end( ) ; v5_Iter++ )
cout << *v5_Iter << " ";
cout << ")" << endl;
// The fifth member function declares and
// initializes a priority_queue q5 by copying the
// range v5[_First, _Last) from vector v5
priority_queue <int> q5( v5.begin( ), v5.begin( ) + 2 );
cout << "q5 = ( ";
while ( !q5.empty( ) )
{
cout << q5.top( ) << " ";
q5.pop( );
}
cout << ")" << endl;
// The sixth member function declares a priority_queue q6
// with a comparison function greater and initializes q6
// by copying the range v5[_First, _Last) from vector v5
priority_queue <int, vector<int>, greater<int> >
q6( v5.begin( ), v5.begin( ) + 2 );
cout << "q6 = ( ";
while ( !q6.empty( ) )
{
cout << q6.top( ) << " ";
q6.pop( );
}
cout << ")" << endl;
}
Output
q1 = ( ) q2 = ( 15 10 5 ) After printing, q2 has 0 elements. q3 = ( 1 2 3 ) q4 = ( 200 100 ) v5 = ( 10 30 20 ) q5 = ( 30 10 ) q6 = ( 10 30 )
