Min Stack Problem
Description
LeetCode Problem 155.
Design a stack that supports push, pop, top, and retrieving the minimum element in constant time.
Implement the MinStack class:
- MinStack() initializes the stack object.
- void push(int val) pushes the element val onto the stack.
- void pop() removes the element on the top of the stack.
- int top() gets the top element of the stack.
- int getMin() retrieves the minimum element in the stack.

Input
["MinStack","push","push","push","getMin","pop","top","getMin"]
[[],[-2],[0],[-3],[],[],[],[]]
Output
[null,null,null,null,-3,null,0,-2]
Explanation
MinStack minStack = new MinStack();
minStack.push(-2);
minStack.push(0);
minStack.push(-3);
minStack.getMin(); // return -3
minStack.pop();
minStack.top(); // return 0
minStack.getMin(); // return -2
Constraints:
- -2^31 <= val <= 2^31 - 1
- Methods pop, top and getMin operations will always be called on non-empty stacks.
- At most 3 * 10^4 calls will be made to push, pop, top, and getMin.
