This is an incomplete code for implementing a Huffman Code using priority queue.
I have been given this code and i have to write the insert and delete functions
using priority queue.
However ,I am not able to understand somethigs like what is rootnodes here,what are exactly p1,p,p2?
Should i make priority queue with linked list or arrays?
Please help.

what are exactly p1,p,p2

This is an incomplete code

from where did you get this code?

I have been given this code by my instructor

this is an awsum reply and answer that anyone can give... thnxxxxxxx

he gave incomplete code and asked -

what are exactly p1,p,p2?

i don't know - has he got the complete variant and does he understan't the idea upon the whole.....
