Priority queue for Dart

Binary-heap based priority queue for Dart. Elements are inserted using add, and the maximum element is removed using removeMax, observed with peek.

An originality of this implementation is that it provides an O(log n) remove method using a hash map to keep track of the elements' positions within the heap. Since maintaining this map is not free, it is only optionally activated by passing fastLookup: true to the constructor. See the dartdoc for details.

Example:

import 'package:priority_queue/priority_queue.dart';

sort(values) {
  final queue = new PriorityQueue.from(values);
  final result = [];
  while (!queue.isEmpty) {
    result.add(queue.removeMax());
  }
  return result;
}

main() {
  print(sort([3,1,4,1,5,9,2,6,5,3,5,9]));
}
