Implement Queue using Stacks
Implement the following operations of a queue using stacks.
- push(x) -- Push element x to the back of queue.
- pop() -- Removes the element from in front of queue.
- peek() -- Get the front element.
- empty() -- Return whether the queue is empty.
- You must use only standard operations of a stack -- which means only
push to top
,peek/pop from top
,size
, andis empty
operations are valid. - Depending on your language, stack may not be supported natively. You may simulate a stack by using a list or deque (double-ended queue), as long as you use only standard operations of a stack.
- You may assume that all operations are valid (for example, no pop or peek operations will be called on an empty queue).
class Queue {
private:
stack<int>stk1,stk2;
public:
// Push element x to the back of queue.
/*stack is LIFO, but queue is FIFO, so always
keep element FIFO order in stack
so push() O(n), pop(),peek(),empty() O(1) operation
*/
void push(int x) {
while(!stk1.empty()){
stk2.push(stk1.top());
stk1.pop();
}
stk1.push(x);
while(!stk2.empty()){
stk1.push(stk2.top());
stk2.pop();
}
}
// Removes the element from in front of queue.
void pop(void) {
if(!stk1.empty())stk1.pop();
}
// Get the front element.
int peek(void) {
return stk1.top();
}
// Return whether the queue is empty.
bool empty(void) {
return stk1.empty();
}
};
