895 Maximum Frequency Stack

1. Question

ImplementFreqStack, a class which simulates the operation of a stack-like data structure.

FreqStack has two functions:

  • push(int x), which pushes an integerxonto the stack.

  • pop(), which removes and returns the most frequent element in the stack.

    • If there is a tie for most frequent element, the element closest to the top of the stack is removed and returned.

Example 1:

Input: 
["FreqStack","push","push","push","push","push","push","pop","pop","pop","pop"],
[[],[5],[7],[5],[7],[4],[5],[],[],[],[]]

Output: 
[null,null,null,null,null,null,null,5,7,5,4]

Explanation:
After making six .push operations, the stack is [5,7,5,7,4,5] from bottom to top.  Then:

pop() -> returns 5, as 5 is the most frequent.
The stack becomes [5,7,5,7,4].

pop() -> returns 7, as 5 and 7 is the most frequent, but 7 is closest to the top.
The stack becomes [5,7,5,4].

pop() -> returns 5.
The stack becomes [5,7,4].

pop() -> returns 4.
The stack becomes [5,7].

Note:

  • Calls toFreqStack.push(int x)will be such that0 <= x <= 10^9.

  • It is guaranteed thatFreqStack.pop()won't be called if the stack has zero elements.

  • The total number ofFreqStack.pushcalls will not exceed10000in a single test case.

  • The total number ofFreqStack.popcalls will not exceed10000in a single test case.

  • The total number ofFreqStack.pushandFreqStack.popcalls will not exceed150000across all test cases.

2. Implementation

(1) HashTable + Stack

思路: 用一个hashTable记录每个数字的frequency,用另一个hashTable存储拥有该frequency的所有数,由于题目要求有多有两个数出现频数最高时,返回最接近stack的那个,所以第二个hashTable的key就是frequency,value是Stack. 最后我们定义一个maxFreq来记录当前最高频数

3. Time & Space Complexity

HashTable + Stack: 时间复杂度push(): O(1), pop(): O(1), 空间复杂度O(n)
