Allocate random priority in priority queue?

I am working on assigning random priorities (i.e. high, medium, low) to a list for a ServiceDesk assignment.

Before that, I was wondering how to go about storing (and printing) an array in said priority queue. This is currently what I have.

*UPDATED CODE

import java.util.*;
import java.util.Random;

public class Demo {

      public static void main (String[] args) {
          
      String [] names = {

         Random r = new Random();
         
         for (String i : names) {
            System.out.println("Names are: " + i);
            int randomPriority = r.nextInt(priority.length);
            System.out.println("Priority: " + priority[randomPriority]);
         }

Solution

Sounds like you are asking for help on how to get started. You are asking for help on learning to learn. Here is how I would approach your problem:

Apparently you are supposed to use a priority queue.

Write a tiny program that makes a priority queue and stores strings into it, then prints them out.
Define a class and store instances of that class into the priority queue instead of strings.
Modify the sort criteria on the priority queue and notice that the printed sequence changes according to the sort criteria.
Write a function that creates one class instance with random values.
Write a function that creates all 100 class instances.
Declare victory.
