Figure it out!
- Try it yourself

Statement

Design a custom stack class, Max Stack, that supports the basic stack operations and can find the maximum element present in the stack.

Implement the following methods for Max Stack:

Constructor: This initializes the Max Stack object.
Void Push(int x): This pushes the provided element, x, onto the stack.
Int Pop( ): This removes and returns the element on the top of the stack.
Int Top( ): This retrieves the most recently added ...
