155. Min Stack

Design a stack that supports push, pop, top, and retrieving the minimum element in constant time.
push(x) -- Push element x onto stack.
pop() -- Removes the element on top of the stack.
top() -- Get the top element.
getMin() -- Retrieve the minimum element in the stack.
Example:

MinStack minStack = new MinStack();
minStack.push(-2);
minStack.push(0);
minStack.push(-3);
minStack.getMin();   --> Returns -3.
minStack.pop();
minStack.top();      --> Returns 0.
minStack.getMin();   --> Returns -2.

Solution1(recommended)：Two Stack(element and max)

思路： build two stacks，stack1 for elements, and stack2 for min_value. Stack1和Stack2可以完全同步push pop，即每个元素都物理上对应有一个到它时候的min. Like Solution1a
也可以省一下空间，因为当一个元素e比前面的min大的时候，then e can
never be the min, so we do not need to record it. SO we only record the elements which have chances to be the min, pop元素的时候，==min的元素才也pop min，不等于的时候(说明小于)，没贡献，只pop元素。Note：这样的minstack是单调递减的
Like Solution1b

Max同理，

Time Complexity: O(N) Space Complexity: O(2N)

Solution2：One Stack(存gap between min and current value)

思路： min只用一个变量保存，stack中存的是the gap between the min value and the current value。pop时：当gap值小于0是,说明current value更小，此时min有变化，所以pop时候需要将min修正过来，其他直接pop。

Note：因为有＋－计算，所以为避免MAX_VALUE - Integer.MIN_VALUE出界情况，采用long，所以space其实和solution1一样大

Solution1a Code：

class MinStack {
    class Element {
        int value;
        int min;
        Element(int value, int min) {
            this.value = value;
            this.min = min;
        }
    }
    
    final Deque stack = new ArrayDeque<>();
    
    public void push(int x) {
        final int min = (stack.empty()) ? x : Math.min(stack.peek().min, x);
        stack.push(new Element(x, min));
    }

    public void pop() {
        stack.pop();
    }

    public int top() {
        return stack.peek().value;
    }

    public int getMin() {
        return stack.peek().min;
    }
}

Solution1b Code：

class MinStack {

private Deque mStack = new ArrayDeque();
private Deque mMinStack = new ArrayDeque();

    public void push(int x) {
        mStack.push(x);
        if (mMinStack.size() != 0) {
            int min = mMinStack.peek();
            if (x <= min) {
                mMinStack.push(x);
            }
        } else {
            mMinStack.push(x);
        }
    }

    public void pop() {
        int x = mStack.pop();
        if (mMinStack.size() != 0) {
            if (x == mMinStack.peek()) {
                mMinStack.pop();
            }
        }
    }

    public int top() {
        return mStack.peek();
    }

    public int getMin() {
        return mMinStack.peek();
    }
}

Solution2 Code：

public class MinStack {
    long min;
    Stack stack;

    public MinStack(){
        stack=new Stack<>();
    }
    
    public void push(int x) {
        if (stack.isEmpty()){
            stack.push(0L);
            min=x;
        }else{
            stack.push(x-min);//Could be negative if min value needs to change
            if (x0){
            return (int)(top+min);
        }else{
           return (int)(min);
        }
    }

    public int getMin() {
        return (int)min;
    }
}
