mplement 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 {
Queue<Integer> queue1 = new LinkedList<Integer>();
Queue<Integer> queue2 = new LinkedList<Integer>();
boolean turn = true;
// Push element x onto stack.
public void push(int x) {
if(turn){
queue1.add(x);
}else{
queue2.add(x);
}
}
// Removes the element on top of the stack.
public void pop() {
if(turn){
while(queue1.size()>1){
queue2.add(queue1.poll());
}
queue1.poll();
}else{
while(queue2.size()>1){
queue1.add(queue2.poll());
}
queue2.poll();
}
turn = !turn;
}
// Get the top element.
public int top() {
if(turn){
while(queue1.size()>1){
queue2.add(queue1.poll());
}
return queue1.peek();
}else{
while(queue2.size()>1){
queue1.add(queue2.poll());
}
return queue2.peek();
}
}
// Return whether the stack is empty.
public boolean empty() {
return queue1.isEmpty()&&queue2.isEmpty();
}
}
