Validate Stack Sequences Problem
Description
LeetCode Problem 946.
Given two integer arrays pushed and popped each with distinct values, return true if this could have been the result of a sequence of push and pop operations on an initially empty stack, or false otherwise.
Example 1:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
Input: pushed = [1,2,3,4,5], popped = [4,5,3,2,1]
Output: true
Explanation: We might do the following sequence:
push(1), push(2), push(3), push(4),
pop() -> 4,
push(5),
pop() -> 5, pop() -> 3, pop() -> 2, pop() -> 1
Example 2:
1
2
3
Input: pushed = [1,2,3,4,5], popped = [4,3,5,1,2]
Output: false
Explanation: 1 cannot be popped before 2.
Constraints:
- 1 <= pushed.length <= 1000
- 0 <= pushed[i] <= 1000
- All the elements of pushed are unique.
- popped.length == pushed.length
- popped is a permutation of pushed.
