ForJava8,updatingonanexistinganswer:
YoucanuseJavaPriorityQueueasaHeap.
MinHeap:-->tokeeptheminelementalwaysontop,soyoucanaccessitinO(1).
PriorityQueueminHeap=newPriorityQueue();
MaxHeap:-->tokeepthemaxelementalwaysontop,thesameorderasabove.
PriorityQueuemaxHeap=newPriorityQueue<>(Comparator.reverseOrder());
Whichisthesameas(Integero1,Integero2)->Integer.compare(o2,o1)or-Integer.compare(o1,o2)assuggestedfromotheranswers.
Andyoucanuse:
add-->toaddelementtothequeue.O(logn)
remove-->togetandremovethemin/max.O(logn)
peek-->toget,butnotremovethemin/max.O(1)

FromJavadocsPriorityQueuewhichisavailablesince1.5istheclasstouse.
ThiscodeforMinHeapcreatesaPriorityQueuewiththedefaultinitialcapacity(11)thatordersitselementsaccordingtotheirnaturalorderinginwhichtheminisatthetop.
//MINHEAP
PriorityQueueminHeap=newPriorityQueue<>();
//equivalentto
PriorityQueueminHeap=newPriorityQueue<>(11);
Ifyouwanttoimplementaspecialorderingyouneedtooverridethecomparatorwiththisconstructor
PriorityQueue(intinitialCapacity,Comparatorcomparator);
Since1.8wealsohavethisversion
PriorityQueue(Comparatorcomparator);
whichhelpsyoucreatetheMaxHeapinmoreelegantwayssuchas
//MAXHEAP
PriorityQueuemaxHeap=
newPriorityQueue<>((n1,n2)->Integer.compare(n2,n1));
