Hi there,

Does the standard library provide priority queues in OCaml? I'll be taking exams where I can use OCaml in a few days, but I couldn't find much documentation on priority queues online.


No, but the manual has an example of implementing priority queues:
http://caml.inria.fr/pub/docs/manual-ocaml/manual004.html

Ouch.


How would you implement Dijkstra's algorithm, otherwise?

C doesn't have priority queues either (ok C++ does),
but you can implement them yourself.



Yes it does:

Please see min_elt function.
