How can I implement priority queuing in my application?

To implement priority queuing, you can use data structures like heaps or priority queues to manage tasks based on their importance.

What programming languages support priority queues?

Most programming languages, including Python, Java, and C++, have built-in libraries or data structures for priority queues.

Can you give me an example in Python?

Sure! You can use the queue.PriorityQueue class in Python. Here's a simple example:

import queue
pq = queue.PriorityQueue()
pq.put((1, 'low priority'))
pq.put((0, 'high priority'))
while not pq.empty():
    print(pq.get())

How do I handle ties in priority?

You can handle ties by adding a secondary sorting criterion, such as a timestamp or a unique identifier, to differentiate tasks with the same priority.
