[erlang-questions] Priority queue

[Ulf Wiger (TN/EAB)]

You can use a gb_trees structure:

in(Item, Prio, Q) ->
   gb_trees:insert({Prio,now()}, Item, Q).

out(Q) ->
   gb_trees:take_smallest(Q).

peek(Q) ->
   gb_trees:smallest(Q).

The order will be FIFO. If you want LIFO, you 
could negate the Prio value and take_largest
instead.

BR,
Ulf W
