Summary of Data Structures

Overview of Linear & Non-Linear Data Structures Conclusion

Challenge: Min Stack

Try to solve the Min Stack problem.

We'll cover the following

Statement
Examples
Try it yourself

Statement

Design a stack data structure to retrieve the minimum value in $O(1)$ time. The following functions must be implemented:

min(): Returns the minimum value in the stack in constant time.
push(int value): Pushes a value onto the stack.
pop(): Removes and returns a value from the top of the stack.

All functions should be implemented with a time complexity of $O(1)$ .

Constraints:

$-10^5 \leq$ value $\leq 10^5$
