 * This class implements a PriorityQueue.

 * <p>
 * A priority queue adds elements into positions based on their priority. So the
 * most important elements are placed at the front/on the top. In this example I
 * give numbers that are bigger, a higher priority. Queues in theory have no
 * fixed size but when using an array implementation it does.
