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.
- You must use only standard operations of a queue -- which means only
push to back
,peek/pop from front
,size
, andis 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).
Update (2015-06-11):
The class name of the Java function had been updated to MyStack instead of Stack.
class MyStack {
private LinkedList<Integer> queue1 = new LinkedList<Integer>(),
queue2 = new LinkedList<Integer>();
// Push element x onto stack.
public void push(int x) {
queue1.addFirst(x);
}
// Removes the element on top of the stack.
public void pop() {
while (queue1.size() != 1)
queue2.addFirst(queue1.removeLast());
queue1.removeLast();
while (!queue2.isEmpty())
queue1.addFirst(queue2.removeLast());
}
// Get the top element.
public int top() {
while (queue1.size() != 1)
queue2.addFirst(queue1.removeLast());
int top = queue1.getLast();
queue2.addFirst(queue1.removeLast());
while (!queue2.isEmpty())
queue1.addFirst(queue2.removeLast());
return top;
}
// Return whether the stack is empty.
public boolean empty() {
return queue1.isEmpty();
}
}
