LeetCode 155. Min Stack (javascript)

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(val) pushes the element val onto 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.

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 poptop and getMin operations will always be called on non-empty stacks.
  • At most 3 * 104 calls will be made to pushpoptop, and getMin.

Idea:

Use two stacks to solve this problem

Solution:

/**
 * initialize your data structure here.
 */
var MinStack = function() {
    this.min = [];
    this.stack = [];
};

/** 
 * @param {number} x
 * @return {void}
 */
MinStack.prototype.push = function(x) {
    this.stack.push(x);
    let min = this.getMin();
    if (min === undefined || min >= x) {
        this.min.push(x);
    }
};

/**
 * @return {void}
 */
MinStack.prototype.pop = function() {
    let val = this.stack.pop();
    let min = this.getMin();
    if (val === min) this.min.pop();
};

/**
 * @return {number}
 */
MinStack.prototype.top = function() {
    return this.stack[this.stack.length - 1];
};

/**
 * @return {number}
 */
MinStack.prototype.getMin = function() {
    return this.min[this.min.length - 1];
};

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