LeetCode155. Min Stack

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

• 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.

<思路>写一个栈的功能。多了一个获取最小值操作。float('inf')表示正无穷。需要注意的是在pop()后要更新最小值。

class MinStack(object):

    def __init__(self):
        """
        initialize your data structure here.
        """
        self.stack = []
        self.min = float('inf')

    def push(self, x):
        """
        :type x: int
        :rtype: void
        """
        self.stack.append(x)
        if x < self.min:
            self.min = x
        

    def pop(self):
        """
        :rtype: void
        """
        self.stack.pop()
        if self.stack:
            self.min = min(self.stack)
        else:
            self.min = float('inf')
    def top(self):
        """
        :rtype: int
        """
        return self.stack[-1]

    def getMin(self):
        """
        :rtype: int
        """
        return self.min


# Your MinStack object will be instantiated and called as such:
# obj = MinStack()
# obj.push(x)
# obj.pop()
# param_3 = obj.top()
# param_4 = obj.getMin()
