Implement Queue using Stacks
Description:
Implement the following operations of a queue using stacks.
- push(x) -- Push element x to the back of queue.
- pop() -- Removes the element from in front of queue.
- peek() -- Get the front element.
- empty() -- Return whether the queue is empty.
Notes:
- You must use only standard operations of a stack -- which means only
push to top
,peek/pop from top
,size
, andis empty
operations are valid. - Depending on your language, stack may not be supported natively. You may simulate a stack by using a list or deque (double-ended queue), as long as you use only standard operations of a stack.
- You may assume that all operations are valid (for example, no pop or peek operations will be called on an empty queue).
Code:
class Queue { public: // Push element x to the back of queue. stack<int>in; stack<int>out; void push(int x) { in.push(x); } // Removes the element from in front of queue. void pop(void) { if (out.empty()) { while (!in.empty()) { out.push(in.top()); in.pop(); } } if (!out.empty()) out.pop(); } // Get the front element. int peek(void) { if (out.empty()) { while (!in.empty()) { out.push(in.top()); in.pop(); } } if (!out.empty()) return out.top(); } // Return whether the queue is empty. bool empty(void) { return in.empty() && out.empty(); } };
