How to create Java Priority Queue to ignore duplicates?

The simplest way to create a Java Priority Queue to ignore duplicates is to first create a Set implementation −

HashSet <Integer> set = new HashSet <> ();
set.add(100);
set.add(150);
set.add(250);
set.add(300);
set.add(250);
set.add(500);
set.add(600);
set.add(500);
set.add(900);

Now, create Priority Queue and include the set to remove duplicates in the above set −

PriorityQueue<Integer>queue = new PriorityQueue<>(set);

Example

 Live Demo

import java.util.HashSet;
import java.util.PriorityQueue;
public class Demo {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      HashSet<Integer>set = new HashSet<>();
      set.add(100);
      set.add(150);
      set.add(250);
      set.add(300);
      set.add(250);
      set.add(500);
      set.add(600);
      set.add(500);
      set.add(900);
      PriorityQueue<Integer>queue = new PriorityQueue<>(set);
      System.out.println("Elements with no duplicates = "+queue);
   }
}

Output

Elements with no duplicates = [100, 150, 250, 500, 600, 900, 300]
