Question

In PriorityQueue.java, write code for the following new functions:
1. public boolean add( PriorityQueueNode x )
This function adds a new node x to the priority queue. The node is added to
the heap by comparison of the rating attribute. It involves the “percolate
up” process and returns true when finished.


2. public PriorityQueueNode remove( )
This function removes the minimum element of the priority queue and returns
it. It involves a call to percolateDown( int hole ).


3. private void percolateDown( int hole )
This function takes the position of the next available hole in the priority queue
and uses it to bubble the elements through the heap until the heap property is
restored.

4. public void display( )
This function prints out a formatted tree representation of the priority queue
showing only the rating of each node. The output should resemble that of a
tree. Tip: you may use the StringBuilder class and the String
format( ) method. Empty nodes in the tree can be replaced with “--”.
Example output is shown below:
