Implement the following operations of a stack using queues.
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
Notes:
- 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).
思路:
具体做法是每往队列中插入一个元素,都将它前面的元素弹出并重新插入队列中,这样就能保证最后插入队列的元素始终在队列的最前端,比如插入a,b,c,d这四个元素,队列中元素的顺序依次为a,ab,abc,abcd,这样插入的时间复杂度是O(n),弹出和获取最后一个元素的时间复杂度是O(1)
代码如下:
class MyStack {
private:
queue<int> q;
int size;
public:
MyStack() {
size=0;
}
/** Push element x onto stack. */
void push(int x) {
if(q.size() == 0) {
q.push(x);
}
else {
q.push(x);
for(int i=0; i<size; i++) {
q.push(q.front());
q.pop();
}
}
size++;
}
/** Removes the element on top of the stack and returns that element. */
int pop() {
int ret = q.front();
q.pop();
return ret;
}
/** Get the top element. */
int top() {
return q.front();
}
/** Returns whether the stack is empty. */
bool empty() {
return q.size() == 0;
}
};
