Design a stack that supports push, pop, top, and retrieving the minimum element in constant time.
Implement the MinStack class:
MinStack()initializes the stack object.void push(int val)pushes the elementvalonto the stack.void pop()removes the element on the top of the stack.int top()gets the top element of the stack.int getMin()retrieves the minimum element in the stack.
You must implement a solution with O(1) time complexity for each function.
Example 1:
Input ["MinStack","push","push","push","getMin","pop","top","getMin"] [[],[-2],[0],[-3],[],[],[],[]] Output [null,null,null,null,-3,null,0,-2] Explanation MinStack minStack = new MinStack(); minStack.push(-2); minStack.push(0); minStack.push(-3); minStack.getMin(); // return -3 minStack.pop(); minStack.top(); // return 0 minStack.getMin(); // return -2
Constraints:
-231 <= val <= 231 - 1- Methods
pop,topandgetMinoperations will always be called on non-empty stacks. - At most
3 * 104calls will be made topush,pop,top, andgetMin.
Hints
Hint 1
Consider each node in the stack having a minimum value. (Credits to @aakarshmadhavan)
