It's one of the paradoxes of blogging that most every blogger (including myself) is sharing what they know right now (let's quietly ignore those who blog purely for traffic and visibility). Since everyone is learning, this can result in poor or misleading information being shared just as much as good information. Keep this in mind as you read any blog - how experienced is the writer and how well do they really know what they're talking about.
I'm just as flawed as other bloggers, so you should feel encouraged to check my ideas for yourself. Keep the date in mind as well - in our fast moving field, even good ideas can become obsolete.

Sometimes we’ll have an existing sequence of items that we want to prioritize - let’s explore a couple of simple extension methods that can make this easier.

Generating a hash code for an immutable priority queue introduces an unusual challenge: How do we generate a consistent hash code regardless of the order items are added to the queue?

Did you spot the problem with the implementation of queue equality that we developed last time? As with the other bug we’ve encountered, this one stems from the comparison function we use.

As is always important, we need to implement hashing and equality. But what does equality mean for a queue?

I have a concern about the amount of debris created on the heap by the enumeration technique we used last time. Let’s explore an alternative approach and see how that compares.
