LeetCode – Implement Queue using Stacks (Java)

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.

Java Solution

class MyQueue {
 
    Stack<Integer> temp = new Stack<Integer>();
    Stack<Integer> value = new Stack<Integer>();
 
    // Push element x to the back of queue.
    public void push(int x) {
        if(value.isEmpty()){
            value.push(x);
        }else{
            while(!value.isEmpty()){
                temp.push(value.pop());
            }
 
            value.push(x);
 
            while(!temp.isEmpty()){
                value.push(temp.pop());
            }    
        }
    }
 
    // Removes the element from in front of queue.
    public void pop() {
        value.pop();
    }
 
    // Get the front element.
    public int peek() {
        return value.peek();
    }
 
    // Return whether the queue is empty.
    public boolean empty() {
        return value.isEmpty();
    }
}
