DIY: Maximum Frequency Stack
Solve the interview question "Maximum Frequency Stack" in this lesson.
We'll cover the following
Problem statement
Design a stack-like data structure. We should be able to push elements to this data structure and pop elements with maximum frequency.
You have to implement the FreqStack
class:
FreqStack struct
declare a frequency stacknew()
construct an empty frequency stackpush(data int)
pushes an integerdata
onto the top of the stackpop() int
removes and returns the most frequent element in the stack
If there is a tie for the most frequent element, the most recently pushed element is removed and returned.
Note: If the stack is empty, return
-1
