Problem Statement

Write a C program to design a stack that supports push, pop, top, and retrieving the minimum element in constant time O(1).

Input Format

First line contains n operations count. Subsequent lines contain operations (1 val for push, 2 for pop, 3 for getMin).

Output Format

Print the result of getMin or top operations when requested.

Constraints

1 <= n <= 100

Sample Input

6
1 3
1 5
1 2
3
2
3

Sample Output

2
3

Explanation

Maintain an auxiliary stack alongside the primary stack to track minimum elements at each corresponding stack level in O(1) time.

Starter Code

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main() {
    int n;
    if (scanf("%d", &n) == 1) {
        // Write your code here to implement Min Stack operations
    }
    return 0;
}

Limits

  • Time Limit: 1s

Intermediate

Embedded systems rely on efficient low-level programming to interact directly with hardware. In this course, you will learn how to write practical Embedded C programs used in real microcontroller-based systems. Rather than focusing only on theory, this course follows a practice-driven approach. Each lesson includes hands-on coding exercises that simulate real firmware development tasks used
