public String toString(){
return this.name;
    }
@Override
public int compareTo(Object o) {

public class PriorityQueueRemoveExample3 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
PriorityQueue<Patients>Pqueue = new  PriorityQueue<Patients>();
        Patients p1 =new Patients("Amar");
        Patients p2 =new Patients("Mukta");
        Patients p3 =new Patients("Aloke");
Pqueue.add(p1);
Pqueue.add(p2);
Pqueue.add(p3);
System.out.println("Patients are : "+Pqueue);
Pqueue.remove(p2);
System.out.println("Patients left : "+Pqueue);
    }
}

Output:

Patients are : [Amar, Mukta, Aloke]
Patients left : [Amar, Aloke]

Example 4

import java.util.PriorityQueue;

public class PriorityQueueRemoveExample4 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
PriorityQueue<Integer>Pqueue = new  PriorityQueue<Integer>();
Pqueue.add(1);
Pqueue.add(2);
Pqueue.add(3);
System.out.println("Elements in queue = "+Pqueue);
//if no value is provided then by default remove() method removes the head element.
System.out.println("Element removed = "+Pqueue.remove());
System.out.println("Elements left in queue = "+Pqueue);
System.out.println("Element removed = "+Pqueue.remove());
System.out.println("Elements left in queue = "+Pqueue);
    }
}

Elements in queue = [1, 2, 3]
Element removed = 1
