I think you need to check whether not-unique items being inserting into container or not.

set keeps only unique items. priorityqueue doesn't. Therefore you can execute for-loop inside while-loop too many extra times and get TLE.

    yes, thank you for pointing it out.

    it is giving time limit for this 'non-unique' pushing.

    if the edges are like:

    1-x

    2-x

    ...

    ...

    ...

    n-x

    then x will be pushed n times in the queue,which will lead the complexity to O(n^2).

    it is sad that i have missed the point.

    again thank you for pointing this.
