Title: Implement Queue using Stacks Source: leetcode.com
Implement the following operations of a queue using stacks.
- push(x) — Push element x to the back of queue.
- pop() — Removes the element from in front of queue.
- peek() — Get the front element.
- empty() — Return whether the queue is empty.
Notes:
- You must use only standard operations of a stack — which means only
push to top
,peek/pop from top
,size
, andis empty
operations are valid. - Depending on your language, stack may not be supported natively. You may simulate a stack by using a list or deque (double-ended queue), as long as you use only standard operations of a stack.
- You may assume that all operations are valid (for example, no pop or peek operations will be called on an empty queue).
