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.
Notes:
- 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 Stack {
private:
queue <int> q_1;
queue <int> q_2;
public:
// Push element x onto stack.
void push(int x) {
if(q_1.empty())
q_1.push(x);
else
{
while(!q_1.empty())
{
q_2.push(q_1.front());
q_1.pop();
}
q_1.push(x);
while(!q_2.empty())
{
q_1.push(q_2.front());
q_2.pop();
}
}
} // Removes the element on top of the stack.
void pop() {
q_1.pop();
} // Get the top element.
int top() {
return q_1.front();
} // Return whether the stack is empty.
bool empty() {
return q_1.empty();
}
};
