A Simple PriorityQueue (or Queue) interface that provides with the nessesary functions to interact with it, without cluttering with the Collection interface.

```
void enqueue(char e)
```
    Method to insert a element into the PriorityQueue
    
    Parameters:
    
    e - the element that should be inserted
  - enqueueAll
```
default void enqueueAll(char... e)
```
    Method to mass insert elements into the PriorityQueue
    
    Parameters:
    
    e - the elements that should be inserted
  - enqueueAll
```
default void enqueueAll(char[] e,
                        int length)
```
    Method to mass insert elements into the PriorityQueue
    
    Parameters:
    
    e - the elements that should be inserted
    
    length - the amount of elements that should be inserted
  - enqueueAll
```
default void enqueueAll(char[] e,
                        int offset,
                        int length)
```
    Method to mass insert elements into the PriorityQueue
    
    Parameters:
    
    e - the elements that should be inserted
    
    offset - the offset where in the array should be started
    
    length - the amount of elements that should be inserted
  - enqueueAll
```
default void enqueueAll(CharCollection c)
```
    Method to mass insert elements into the PriorityQueue
    
    Parameters:
    
    c - the elements that should be inserted from the Collection
  - dequeue
```
char dequeue()
```
    Method to extract a element from the PriorityQueue
    
    Returns:
    
    a element from the Queue
    
    Throws:
    
    java.util.NoSuchElementException - if no element is present
  - peek
```
char peek(int index)
```
    Peeking function to see whats inside the queue.
    
    Parameters:
    
    index - of the element that is requested to be viewed.
    
    Returns:
    
    the element that is requested
  - first
```
default char first()
```
    Shows the element that is to be returned next
    
    Returns:
    
    the first element in the Queue
  - removeFirst
```
boolean removeFirst(char e)
```
    Removes the first found element in the queue
    
    Parameters:
    
    e - the element that should be removed
    
    Returns:
    
    if a searched element was removed
  - removeLast
```
boolean removeLast(char e)
```
    Removes the last found element in the queue
    
    Parameters:
    
    e - the element that should be removed
    
    Returns:
    
    if a searched element was removed
  - onChanged
```
void onChanged()
```
    Allows to notify the Queue to be revalidate its data
  - copy
```
CharPriorityQueue copy()
```
    A Function that does a shallow clone of the PriorityQueue itself. This function is more optimized then a copy constructor since the PriorityQueue does not have to be unsorted/resorted. It can be compared to Cloneable but with less exception risk
    
    Returns:
    
    a Shallow Copy of the PriorityQueue
    
    Note:
    
    Wrappers and view PriorityQueues will not support this feature
  - comparator
```
CharComparator comparator()
```
    Returns:
    
    the sorter of the Queue, can be null
  - synchronizeQueue
```
default CharPriorityQueue synchronizeQueue()
```
    Creates a Wrapped PriorityQueue that is Synchronized
    
    Returns:
    
    a new PriorityQueue that is synchronized
    
    See Also:
    
    CharPriorityQueues.synchronize(speiger.src.collections.chars.queues.CharPriorityQueue)
  - synchronizeQueue
```
default CharPriorityQueue synchronizeQueue(java.lang.Object mutex)
```
    Creates a Wrapped PriorityQueue that is Synchronized
    
    Parameters:
    
    mutex - is the controller of the synchronization block
    
    Returns:
    
    a new PriorityQueue Wrapper that is synchronized
    
    See Also:
    
    CharPriorityQueues.synchronize(speiger.src.collections.chars.queues.CharPriorityQueue)
  - toCharArray
```
default char[] toCharArray()
```
    A method to drop the contents of the Queue without clearing the queue
    
    Returns:
    
    the contents of the queue into a seperate array.
  - toCharArray
```
char[] toCharArray(char[] input)
```
    A method to drop the contents of the Queue without clearing the queue
    
    Parameters:
    
    input - where the elements should be inserted to. If it does not fit then it creates a new appropiatly created array
    
    Returns:
    
    the contents of the queue into a seperate array.
    
    Note:
    
    if the Type is generic then a Object Array is created instead of a Type Array
