[LeetCode] Implement Stack using Queues

225. Implement Stack using Queues

Implement a last-in-first-out (LIFO) stack using only two queues. The implemented stack should support all the functions of a normal stack (push, top, pop, and empty).

Implement the MyStack class:

  • void push(int x) Pushes element x to the top of the stack.
  • int pop() Removes the element on the top of the stack and returns it.
  • int top() Returns the element on the top of the stack.
  • boolean empty() Returns true if the stack is empty, false otherwise.

Notes:

  • You must use only standard operations of a queue, which means that only push to back, peek/pop from front, size and is empty operations are valid.
  • Depending on your language, the queue may not be supported natively. You may simulate a queue using a list or deque (double-ended queue) as long as you use only a queue’s standard operations.

class MyStack {
queue<int> q;
public:
MyStack() {}

void push(int x) {
q.push(x);
for(int i = 0; i < q.size() - 1; i++) {
q.push(q.front()); q.pop();
}
}

int pop() {
int res = q.front(); q.pop();
return res;
}

int top() {
return q.front();
}

bool empty() {
return q.empty();
}
};

/**
* Your MyStack object will be instantiated and called as such:
* MyStack* obj = new MyStack();
* obj->push(x);
* int param_2 = obj->pop();
* int param_3 = obj->top();
* bool param_4 = obj->empty();
