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, and is 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.
译:使用队列来实现以下栈的操作:
- 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.
问题分析
关于栈和队列的相互实现,主要考察的是两者的概念和原理的清晰度,并且在队列实现中,需要了解相关语言的知识点,例如Java中实现队列结构的类有LinkedList,那么LinkedList中的哪些方法符合条件,就可以去看看Java源码。这里给出LeetCode中对这次的总结,各类操作的时间复杂度都分析明确,值得仔细看看:implement-stack-using-queues
