Today I have done leetcode's March LeetCoding Challenge with cpp.

March LeetCoding Challenge 19

Description

Maximum Frequency Stack

Design a stack-like data structure to push elements to the stack and pop the most frequent element from the stack.

Implement the FreqStack class:

  • FreqStack() constructs an empty frequency stack.

  • void push(int val) pushes an integer val onto the top of the stack.

  • int pop()
    

    removes and returns the most frequent element in the stack.

    • If there is a tie for the most frequent element, the element closest to the stack's top 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
FreqStack freqStack = new FreqStack();
freqStack.push(5); // The stack is [5]
freqStack.push(7); // The stack is [5,7]
freqStack.push(5); // The stack is [5,7,5]
freqStack.push(7); // The stack is [5,7,5,7]
freqStack.push(4); // The stack is [5,7,5,7,4]
freqStack.push(5); // The stack is [5,7,5,7,4,5]
freqStack.pop();   // return 5, as 5 is the most frequent. The stack becomes [5,7,5,7,4].
freqStack.pop();   // return 7, as 5 and 7 is the most frequent, but 7 is closest to the top. The stack becomes [5,7,5,4].
freqStack.pop();   // return 5, as 5 is the most frequent. The stack becomes [5,7,4].
freqStack.pop();   // return 4, as 4, 5 and 7 is the most frequent, but 4 is closest to the top. The stack becomes [5,7].

Constraints:

  • 0 <= val <= 10^9
  • At most 2 * 10^4 calls will be made to push and pop.
  • It is guaranteed that there will be at least one element in the stack before calling pop.

Solution

auto speedup = [](){
  cin.tie(nullptr);
  cout.tie(nullptr);
  ios::sync_with_stdio(false);
  return 0;
}();
class FreqStack {
  vector<vector<int>> stack;
  unordered_map<int, int> count;
  int maxCount;
public:
  FreqStack(): maxCount(0) {}
  
  void push(int val) {
    if(maxCount == count[val]) {
      stack.push_back({});
    }
    stack[count[val]].push_back(val);
    count[val] += 1;
    maxCount = max(maxCount, count[val]);
  }
  
  int pop() {
    int val = stack.back().back();
    count[val] -= 1;
    stack.back().pop_back();
    if(stack.back().empty()) {
      stack.pop_back();
      maxCount -= 1;
    }
    return val;
  }
};
