Question

How would this code be altered so that it displays random numbers in the queue?

class PriorityQ
   {

   private int maxSize;
   private long[] queArray;
   private int nItems;

   public PriorityQ(int s)        
      {
      maxSize = s;
      queArray = new long[maxSize];
      nItems = 0;
      }

   public void insert(long item)  
      {
      int j;

      if(nItems==0)                       
         queArray[nItems++] = item;       
      else                              
         {
         for(j=nItems-1; j>=0; j--)       
            {
            if( item > queArray[j] )    
               queArray[j+1] = queArray[j];
            else                        
               break;                   
            }
         queArray[j+1] = item;          
         nItems++;
         }
      }

   public long remove()           
      { return queArray[--nItems]; }

   public long peekMin()          
      { return queArray[nItems-1]; }

   public boolean isEmpty()       
      { return (nItems==0); }

   public boolean isFull()        
      { return (nItems == maxSize); }

   }

class PriorityQApp
   {
   public static void main(String[] args)
      {
      PriorityQ thePQ = new PriorityQ(5);
      thePQ.insert(30);
      thePQ.insert(50);
      thePQ.insert(10);

      thePQ.insert(20);

      while( !thePQ.isEmpty() )

}
public void insert(long item)   
{

else   
{

{

}  
queArray[j+1] = item;   
nItems++;
}  
}  
public long remove()

public long peekMin()   
{ return queArray[nItems-1]; }
public boolean isEmpty()

public boolean isFull()   
{ return (nItems == maxSize); }
}  
public class PriorityQApp
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Random rand = new Random();
int i =0;
  
PriorityQ thePQ = new PriorityQ(5);

while( !thePQ.isEmpty() )
{
