Time complexity of a Priority Queue in C++

If you have an array of size n and you want to build a heap from all items at once, Floyd’s algorithm can do it with O(n) complexity. See Building a heap. This corresponds to the std::priority_queue constructors that accept a container parameter. If you have an empty priority queue to which you want to add n items, one at a time, … Read more

Does a Java to C++ converter/tool exist?
