All Implemented Interfaces:

CharPriorityQueue, PriorityQueue<Character>
```
public class CharArrayPriorityQueue
extends AbstractCharPriorityQueue
```
A type-specific array-based priority queue.
Instances of this class represent a priority queue using a backing array—all operations are performed directly on the array. The array is enlarged as needed, but it is never shrunk. Use the trim() method to reduce its size, if necessary.
This implementation is extremely inefficient, but it is difficult to beat when the size of the queue is very small.

Modifier and Type	Field and Description
`protected char[]`	`array` The backing array.

- Method Detail
  - enqueue
```
public void enqueue(char x)
```
    Description copied from interface: CharPriorityQueue

    Parameters:
    x - the element to enqueue.
  - dequeueChar
```
public char dequeueChar()
```
    Dequeues an element.
    Note that each call to this method requires a complete scan of the backing array. Please consider caching its result.
    
    Returns:
    the dequeued element.
  - firstChar
```
public char firstChar()
```
    Description copied from interface: CharPriorityQueue

    Returns:
    the number of elements in this queue.
  - clear
```
public void clear()
```
    Description copied from interface: PriorityQueue

  - comparator
```
public CharComparator comparator()
```
    Description copied from interface: CharPriorityQueue
    
    Returns the comparator associated with this sorted set, or null if it uses its elements' natural ordering.
    Note that this specification strengthens the one given in PriorityQueue.comparator().
