My data is going in to the queue just fine, but when I go to print the data nothing happens. How do I pull the data from the priority queue heap to print? NOTE: The heap implementation cannot be altered.

While I look over the code, I just have one comment before I post something useful.. I really hope you can change 1 thing.. DO NOT #include .cpp files. It is a bad habit and will get you in a lot of trouble down the line.

I must also ask, is this a snippet from a book? It has a copyright which is why I asked. Is it for your company or just a snippet from a book you want help on.

Looking at your code, it is very hard to tell what you are doing. What I see is:

You removing from the queue by calling ppq.remove which I assume returns a boolean according to your declaration.

What you should be doing is:

while(!queue.isEmpty())
{
    data = ppq.peek();
    //print the data here..
    ppq.remove();
}

This peek is required because you have no pop and remove returns a boolean rather than the item from the queue. peek + remove will return an item and remove from the queue.
