Description
Imagine a row of infinitely many stacks, each with an identical maximum capacity, numbered 0 onwards from left to right.
Build the DinnerPlates class:
- DinnerPlates(int capacity) sets up the structure with the given per-stack capacity.
- void push(int val) adds val to the leftmost stack that still has room.
- int pop() removes and returns the top element from the rightmost non-empty stack, or -1 if all stacks are empty.
- int popAtStack(int index) removes and returns the top element from the stack at position index, or -1 if that stack is empty.
Example 1:
Input
["DinnerPlates", "push", "push", "push", "push", "push", "popAtStack", "push", "push", "popAtStack", "popAtStack", "pop", "pop", "pop", "pop", "pop"]
[[2], [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [0], [20], [21], [0], [2], [], [], [], [], []]
Output
[null, null, null, null, null, null, 2, null, null, 20, 21, 5, 4, 3, 1, -1]
Example 2:
Explanation:
DinnerPlates D = DinnerPlates(2); // Initialize with capacity = 2
D.push(1);
D.push(2);
D.push(3);
D.push(4);
D.push(5); // The stacks are now: 2 4
1 3 5
﹈ ﹈ ﹈
D.popAtStack(0); // Returns 2. The stacks are now: 4
1 3 5
﹈ ﹈ ﹈
D.push(20); // The stacks are now: 20 4
1 3 5
﹈ ﹈ ﹈
D.push(21); // The stacks are now: 20 4 21
1 3 5
﹈ ﹈ ﹈
D.popAtStack(0); // Returns 20. The stacks are now: 4 21
1 3 5
﹈ ﹈ ﹈
D.popAtStack(2); // Returns 21. The stacks are now: 4
1 3 5
﹈ ﹈ ﹈
D.pop() // Returns 5. The stacks are now: 4
1 3
﹈ ﹈
D.pop() // Returns 4. The stacks are now: 1 3
﹈ ﹈
D.pop() // Returns 3. The stacks are now: 1
﹈
D.pop() // Returns 1. There are no stacks.
D.pop() // Returns -1. There are still no stacks.
