Problem: Maximum Frequency Stack

Hard
40 min
Explore how to implement a frequency-based stack that allows pushing elements and popping the most frequent one, resolving ties by removing the most recently added. This lesson helps you master data tracking techniques useful for permutations, anagrams, and game design problems.

Statement

Design a stack-like data structure. You should be able to push elements to this data structure and pop elements with maximum frequency.

You’ll need to implement the FreqStack class that should consist of the following:

  • Init(): This is a constructor used to declare a frequency stack.

  • Push(value): This is used to push an integer data onto the top of the stack.

  • Pop(): This is used to remove and return the most frequent element in the stack.

Note: If there is a tie for the most frequent element, then the most recently pushed element is removed and returned.

Constraints:

  • 00 \leq value 104\leq 10^4

  • At most, 2×1032 \times 10^3 calls will be made to Push() and Pop().

  • It is guaranteed that there will be at least one element in the stack before calling Pop().
