Min Stack
Design a stack that supports push, pop, top, and retrieving the minimum element in constant time. [#155]
push(x) -- Push element x onto stack.
pop() -- Removes the element on top of the stack.
top() -- Get the top element.
getMin() -- Retrieve the minimum element in the stack.
Example:
MinStack minStack = new MinStack(); minStack.push(-2); minStack.push(0); minStack.push(-3); minStack.getMin(); --> Returns -3. minStack.pop(); minStack.top(); --> Returns 0. minStack.getMin(); --> Returns -2.
Implement Stack using Queues
Implement the following operations of a stack using queues. [#225]
push(x) -- Push element x onto stack.
pop() -- Removes the element on top of the stack.
top() -- Get the top element.
empty() -- Return whether the stack is empty.
Example:
MyStack stack = new MyStack(); stack.push(1); stack.push(2); stack.top(); // returns 2 stack.pop(); // returns 2 stack.empty(); // returns false
Note:
You must use only standard operations of a queue -- which means only push to back, peek/pop from front, size, and is empty operations are valid.
Depending on your language, queue may not be supported natively. You may simulate a queue by using a list or deque (double-ended queue), as long as you use only standard operations of a queue.
You may assume that all operations are valid (for example, no pop or top operations will be called on an empty stack).
