I'm trying to declare a priority_queue of nodes
, using bool Compare(Node a, Node b)
as the comparator function (which is outside the node class).
What I currently have is:
priority_queue<Node, vector<Node>, Compare> openSet;
For some reason, I'm getting Error: "Compare" is not a type name
Changing the declaration to priority_queue <Node, vector<Node>, bool Compare>
gives me Error: expected a '>'
I've also tried:
priority_queue<Node, vector<Node>, Compare()> openSet;
priority_queue<Node, vector<Node>, bool Compare()> openSet;
priority_queue<Node, vector<Node>, Compare<Node, Node>> openSet;
How should I correctly declare my priority_queue
?
You should declare a class Compare
and overload operator()
for it like this:
class Foo
{
};
class Compare
{
public:
bool operator() (Foo, Foo)
{
return true;
}
};
int main()
{
std::priority_queue<Foo, std::vector<Foo>, Compare> pq;
return 0;
}
Or, if you for some reasons can't make it as class, you could use std::function
for it:
class Foo
{
};
bool Compare(Foo, Foo)
{
return true;
}
int main()
{
std::priority_queue<Foo, std::vector<Foo>, std::function<bool(Foo, Foo)>> pq(Compare);
return 0;
}
