const RunQueue = require('run-queue')
const queue = new RunQueue({
maxConcurrency: 1
})
queue.add(1, example, [-1])

queue.add(0, example, [ii])
}
const finished = []

next()
}, 5 - Math.abs(num))
}

would output
`
[ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, -1 ]
If you bump concurrency to 2, then you get:
`
[ 1, 0, 3, 2, 4, -1 ]
The concurrency means that they don't finish in order, because some take
longer than others. Each priority level must finish entirely before the
next priority level is run. See
PRIORITIES below. This is
even true if concurrency is set high enough that all of the regular queue
can execute at once, for instance, with maxConcurrency: 10:
`
[ 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, -1 ]
Create a new queue. Options may contain:
* maxConcurrency - (Default: 1) The maximum number of jobs to execute at once.
* Promise - (Default: global.Promise) The promise implementation to use.
Add a new job to the end of the queue at priority prio that will run fn
with . If fn is async then it should return a Promise.
Start running the job queue. Returns a Promise that resolves when either
all the jobs are complete or a job ends in error (throws or returns a
rejected promise). If a job ended in error then this Promise will be rejected
with that error and no further queue running will be done.
Priorities are any integer value >= 0.
Lowest is executed first.
Priorities essentially represent distinct job queues. All jobs in a queue
must complete before the next highest priority job queue is executed.
This means that if you have two queues, 0 and 1 then ALL jobs in 0
must complete before ANY execute in . If you add new 0 level jobs1
while level jobs are running then it will switch back processing the 0
queue and won't execute any more jobs till all of the new 0` jobs
complete.
