LeetCode 503 Next Greater Element II (数组)

Given a circular array (the next element of the last element is the first element of the array), print the Next Greater Number for every element. The Next Greater Number of a number x is the first greater number to its traversing-order next in the array, which means you could search circularly to find its next greater number. If it doesn't exist, output -1 for this number.

Example 1:

Input: [1,2,1]
Output: [2,-1,2]
Explanation: The first 1's next greater number is 2; 
The number 2 can't find next greater number; 
The second 1's next greater number needs to search circularly, which is also 2.

Note: The length of given array won't exceed 10000.

题目分析：把数组在后面复制一份，设g[i]表示i之后比位置i大的数的下标，从后往前处理，类似倍增思想
