Given two sequences pushed and popped with distinct values, return true if and only if this could have been the result of a sequence of push and pop operations on an initially empty stack.
Example 1:
Input: pushed = [1,2,3,4,5], popped = [4,5,3,2,1]
Output: true
Explanation: We might do the following sequence: push(1), push(2), push(3), push(4), pop() -> 4, push(5), pop() -> 5, pop() -> 3, pop() -> 2, pop() -> 1
Example 2:
Input: pushed = [1,2,3,4,5], popped = [4,3,5,1,2]
Output: false
Explanation: 1 cannot be popped before 2.
Constraints:
0 <= pushed.length == popped.length <= 1000
0 <= pushed[i], popped[i] < 1000
pushed is a permutation of popped.
pushed and popped have distinct values.
Solution:
Approach 1:
Time Complexity: O(N) Space Complexity: O(N)
class Solution {
public boolean validateStackSequences(int[] pushed, int[] popped) {
Stack<Integer> stack = new Stack<>();
int i=0;
for(int x:pushed)
{
stack.push(x);
while(!stack.isEmpty() && stack.peek()==popped[i])
{
stack.pop();
i++;
}
}
return stack.isEmpty();
}
}
Approach 2:
Time Complexity: O(N) Space Complexity: O(1)
class Solution {
public boolean validateStackSequences(int[] pushed, int[] popped) {
int i=0,j=0;
for(int x:pushed)
{
pushed[i++]=x;
while(i>0 && pushed[i-1]==popped[j])
{
--i;
j++;
}
}
return i==0;
}
}
