Week 14 Min Stack

155.Min Stack

问题概述

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.

分析

解法一：

这道最小栈跟原来的栈相比就是多了一个功能，可以返回该栈的最小值。使用两个栈来实现，一个栈来按顺序存储push进来的数据，另一个用来存出现过的最小值。

class MinStack {
private:
	stack<int> s1,s2;
public:
    /** initialize your data structure here. */
    MinStack() {
        
    }
    
    void push(int x) {
        s1.push(x);
        if(s2.empty() || x <= s2.top()) {
		s2.push(x);
	}
    }
    
    void pop() {
        if (s1.top() == s2.top()) {s2.pop();}
        s1.pop();
    }
    
    int top() {
        return s1.top();
    }
    
    int getMin() {
        return s2.top();
    }
};

/**
 * Your MinStack object will be instantiated and called as such:
 * MinStack obj = new MinStack();
 * obj.push(x);
 * obj.pop();
 * int param_3 = obj.top();
 * int param_4 = obj.getMin();
 */

解法2：

只用到一个栈，还需要一个整型变量min_val来记录当前最小值，初始化为整型最小值，然后如果需要进栈的数字小于等于当前最小值min_val，那么将min_val压入栈，并且将min_val更新为当前数字。在出栈操作时，先将栈顶元素移出栈，再判断该元素是否和min_val相等，相等的话我们将min_val更新为新栈顶元素，再将新栈顶元素移出栈即可，
代码

class MinStack {
public:
    /** initialize your data structure here. */
    MinStack() {
        min_val = INT_MAX;
    }
    
    void push(int x) {
        if (x <= min_val) {
            st.push(min_val);
            min_val = x;
        }
        st.push(x);
    }
    
    void pop() {
        int t = st.top(); st.pop();
        if (t == min_val) {
            min_val = st.top(); st.pop();
        }
    }
    
    int top() {
        return st.top();
    }
    
    int getMin() {
        return min_val;
    }
private:
    int min_val;
    stack<int> st;
};
