PriorityQueue<String> que=new PriorityQueue<String>();

que.add("silpa");
que.add("swati");
que.add("roopa");
System.out.println(que);
System.out.println(que.poll());
System.out.println(que.peek());

output:::[roopa, swati, silpa]
roopa
silpa

mydoubt:::why did the elements in the list are not in sorted order??i feel silpa and swati should be interchanged.so that they will be in sorted order.
i understood the functionality of poll() and peek()..my doubt is in what order the elements are printed in case of strings if we print the whole collection that is queue.
