SplMaxHeap::compare — Compare elements in order to place them correctly in the heap while sifting up.
Compare value1
with value2
.
value1
The value of the first node being compared.
value2
The value of the second node being compared.
Result of the comparison, positive integer if value1
is greater than value2

Having multiple elements with the same value in a Heap is not recommended. They will end up in an arbitrary relative position.
