Day 37 of 100 Days LeetCode Challenge

LeetCode Challenge #155. Min Stack

Design a stack that supports push, pop, top, and retrieving the minimum element in constant time.

Implement the MinStack class:

  • MinStack() initializes the stack object.
  • void push(int val) pushes the element val onto the stack.
  • void pop() removes the element on the top of the stack.
  • int top() gets the top element of the stack.
  • int getMin() retrieves the minimum element in the stack.

You must implement a solution with O(1) time complexity for each function.

 

Example 1:

Input
["MinStack","push","push","push","getMin","pop","top","getMin"]
[[],[-2],[0],[-3],[],[],[],[]]

Output
[null,null,null,null,-3,null,0,-2]

Explanation
MinStack minStack = new MinStack();
minStack.push(-2);
minStack.push(0);
minStack.push(-3);
minStack.getMin(); // return -3
minStack.pop();
minStack.top();    // return 0
minStack.getMin(); // return -2

 

Constraints:

  • -231 <= val <= 231 - 1
  • Methods poptop and getMin operations will always be called on non-empty stacks.
  • At most 3 * 104 calls will be made to pushpoptop, and getMin.

					class MinStack {
     private Stack<Integer> st;
     private Stack<Integer> min;
    public MinStack() {
        st = new Stack<>();
        min = new Stack<>();
    }
    
    public void push(int val) {
        if(st.size()==0 || min.peek()>=val){
            min.push(val);
        }

          st.push(val);
    }
    
    public void pop() {
        int ele1 = st.pop();
        int ele2 = min.peek();

        if(ele1==ele2){
            min.pop();
        }

    }
    
    public int top() {
        return st.peek();
    }
    
    public int getMin() {
        return min.peek();
    }
}

/**
 * Your MinStack object will be instantiated and called as such:
 * MinStack obj = new MinStack();
 * obj.push(val);
 * obj.pop();
 * int param_3 = obj.top();
 * int param_4 = obj.getMin();
