priority_queue as argument will not affect actual copy of priority queue.
is it take linear time for copying priority queue ?
and what after completion of function body it automatically removed ?
is any way to remove the element from priority_queue which are not useful or we need top k + 1 elements in priority queue ?
waiting for response …
You are thinking it right. Use Priority_queue as function parameter. ( Note: We need to keep elements that you pop, so passing by value is a good option)
Don’t worry, You wont face any TLE.
Please have a look at this short snippet.
so we can pass any data structure as argument. it done by deepcopy and is always linear time complexity?
Yeahh
Send priority queue as arguement and get through the problem!
