Indeed; I've been working purely in Java for the last couple of
projects, and just picked a suitable data structure that's part of
the Java standard libraries. A heap would be faster, but AFAICS they
both have the desired ( log(n) ) time complexity - a heap just has a
lower constant factor (and isn't in the standard libraries. Yet).
