+
+* Describe the meaning of the essential methods `add(x)`, `deleteMin()`, and `size()` that are supported by the priority queue interface.
+* Implement those methods using a singly-linked list.
+* Analyze the running time of the `add(x)` and `deletMin()` operations based on this implementation.
+ * The `add(x)` method is used to add an element to the queue with a priority.
+ * The `deleteMin()` method is used to remove the element with the lowest priority from the queue and return it.
+ * The `size()` method is used to determine how many items are in the queue.
+ * The `add(x)` function is linear time O(n).
+ * The `deleteMin(x)` function is constant time O(1).
