% start by loading the example and the required libraries:

| ?- logtalk_load(pmq(loader)). ...

% send some messages to the priority queue:

| ?- pmq::(send(13-let), send(5-out), send(11-the), send(17-who), send(7-dogs)). yes

% retrieve the current messages sorted by priority:

| ?- pmq::messages(Messages). Messages = [who, let, the, dogs, out] yes

% after retrieving the messages the priority queue % is empty until new messages are received:

| ?- pmq::messages(Messages). Messages = [] yes

% sends a next batch of messages:

| ?- pmq::(send(8-fun), send(11-have), send(3-':-)')). yes

% retrieve the current messages sorted by priority:

| ?- pmq::messages(Messages) Messages = [have, fun, ':-)'] yes

% same messages but to an alternative implementation that splits top messages % from normal messages instead of sorting all messages by priority

| ?- split::(send(13-let), send(5-out), send(11-the), send(17-who), send(7-dogs)). yes

| ?- split::messages(List). List = [let, the, who, out, dogs] yes

| ?- split::messages(List). List = [] yes

| ?- split::(send(8-fun), send(11-have), send(3-':-)')). yes

| ?- split::messages(List). List = [have, fun, ':-)'] yes
