Solution: Maximum Frequency Stack
Explore how to design a maximum frequency stack that retrieves the most frequent element efficiently. Learn to implement push and pop methods using hash maps and stacks to manage element frequencies and ensure optimal time complexity. Understand handling ties by returning the most recently added elements and optimizing for space and time.
Statement
Design a stack-like data structure. You should be able to push elements to this data structure and pop elements with maximum frequency.
You’ll need to implement the FreqStack class that should consist of the following:
-
FreqStack: This is a class used to declare a frequency stack.
-
Push(value): This is used to push an integer data onto the top of the stack.
-
Pop(): This is used to remove and return the most frequent element in the stack.
Note: If there is a tie for the most frequent element, then the most recently pushed element is removed and returned.
Constraints:
-
value -
At most, ...
