Day 16 Leet code series, today we will be picking the problem Min Stack (https://leetcode.com/problems/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

class MinStack {
    stack<int> s1;
    stack<int> s2;
public:
    MinStack() {
        
    }
    
    void push(int val) {
        s1.push(val);
        if(s2.empty() || s2.top() >= val){
            s2.push(val);
        }
    }
    
    void pop() {
        if(s1.size() >= 1){
        if(s1.top() == s2.top()) s2.pop();
        s1.pop();
        }
    }
    
    int top() {
        return s1.top();
    }
    
    int getMin() {
        return s2.top();
    }
};

/**
 * 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();
