How does a priority queue differ from a regular queue?
- Elements are removed based on a priority level
- Elements are removed based on a secondary key
- Elements are removed in a random order
- Elements are removed in the order they were added
A priority queue differs from a regular queue in that elements are removed based on a priority level assigned to each element. This means that elements with higher priority levels are removed before elements with lower priority levels, regardless of the order they were added. In contrast, a regular queue removes elements in the order they were added, following the FIFO (First-In-First-Out) principle.
