# 0155. Min Stack

<https://leetcode.com/problems/min-stack>

## Description

Design a stack that supports push, pop, top, and retrieving the minimum element in constant time.

Implement the `MinStack` class:

* `MinStack()` initializes the stack object.
* `void push(int val)` pushes the element `val` onto the stack.
* `void pop()` removes the element on the top of the stack.
* `int top()` gets the top element of the stack.
* `int getMin()` retrieves the minimum element in the stack.

**Example 1:**

```
**Input**
["MinStack","push","push","push","getMin","pop","top","getMin"]
[[],[-2],[0],[-3],[],[],[],[]]
**Output**
[null,null,null,null,-3,null,0,-2]
**Explanation**
MinStack minStack = new MinStack();
minStack.push(-2);
minStack.push(0);
minStack.push(-3);
minStack.getMin(); // return -3
minStack.pop();
minStack.top();    // return 0
minStack.getMin(); // return -2
```

**Constraints:**

* `-231 <= val <= 231 - 1`
* Methods `pop`, `top` and `getMin` operations will always be called on **non-empty** stacks.
* At most `3 * 104` calls will be made to `push`, `pop`, `top`, and `getMin`.

## ac1: two stack

```java
class MinStack {
    private Stack<Integer> stack;
    private Stack<Integer> stack2;

    /** initialize your data structure here. */
    public MinStack() {
        stack = new Stack<>();
        stack2 = new Stack<>();
    }

    public void push(int x) {
        stack.push(x);
        if (stack2.isEmpty() || x <= stack2.peek()) {
            stack2.push(x);
        }
    }

    public void pop() {
        int tmp = stack.pop();
        if (tmp == stack2.peek()) {
            stack2.pop(); 
        }
    }

    public int top() {
        return stack.peek();
    }

    public int getMin() {
        return stack2.peek();
    }
}
```

## ac2: one stack

Key: in the stack, add some roadmark to indicate min from now on.ß

```java
class MinStack {
    private Stack<Integer> stack;
    private int min;

    /** initialize your data structure here. */
    public MinStack() {
        stack = new Stack<>();
        min = Integer.MAX_VALUE;
    }

    public void push(int x) {
        if (x <= min) {
            stack.push(min);
            min = x;
        }
        stack.push(x);
    }

    public void pop() {
        int tmp = stack.pop();
        if (tmp == min) {
            min = stack.pop();
        }
    }

    public int top() {
        return stack.peek();
    }

    public int getMin() {
        return min;
    }
}
```

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://jaywin.gitbook.io/leetcode/solutions/0155-min-stack.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
