232. Implement Queue using Stacks

Easy


Implement a first in first out (FIFO) queue using only two stacks. The implemented queue should support all the functions of a normal queue (push, peek, pop, and empty).

Implement the MyQueue class:

Notes:

 

Example 1:

Input
["MyQueue", "push", "push", "peek", "pop", "empty"]
[[], [1], [2], [], [], []]
Output
[null, null, null, 1, 1, false]

Explanation
MyQueue myQueue = new MyQueue();
myQueue.push(1); // queue is: [1]
myQueue.push(2); // queue is: [1, 2] (leftmost is front of the queue)
myQueue.peek(); // return 1
myQueue.pop(); // return 1, queue is [2]
myQueue.empty(); // return false

 

Constraints:

 

Follow-up: Can you implement the queue such that each operation is amortized O(1) time complexity? In other words, performing n operations will take overall O(n) time even if one of those operations may take longer.

Java

Source file
class MyQueue {
    Stack<Integer> stk1 = new Stack<>();
    Stack<Integer> stk2 = new Stack<>();

    public MyQueue() {

    }

    public void push(int x) {
        while (!stk1.isEmpty())
            stk2.push(stk1.pop());
        stk1.push(x);
    }

    public int pop() {
        while (!stk2.isEmpty())
            stk1.push(stk2.pop());
        return stk1.pop();
    }

    public int peek() {
        while (!stk2.isEmpty())
            stk1.push(stk2.pop());
        return stk1.peek();
    }

    public boolean empty() {
        return stk1.isEmpty();
    }
}

/**

 * obj.push(x);
 * int param_2 = obj.pop();
 * int param_3 = obj.peek();
 * boolean param_4 = obj.empty();
