Priority queues are used in many important computer algorithms, in particular graph-based shortest-path algorithms. Somewhat surprisingly, the Microsoft .NET Framework doesn't contain a priority queue ...

Take advantage of the PriorityQueue class in .NET 6 to create queues that work based on priority values you assign to the elements.

From theme parks to banks, priority queues are spreading for those with enough money or status. This could be a sign of greater efficiency – or just another way of splitting society.

A priority queue is a data structure that holds information that has some sort of priority value. When an item is removed from a priority queue, it's always the item with the highest priority.
