Problem

Given two sequences pushed and popped with distinct values, return true if and only if this could have been the result of a sequence of push and pop operations on an initially empty stack.

Example 1:

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:

Input: pushed = [1,2,3,4,5], popped = [4,3,5,1,2]
Output: false
Explanation: 1 cannot be popped before 2.

Note:

1. 0 <= pushed.length == popped.length <= 1000
2. 0 <= pushed[i], popped[i] < 1000
3. pushed is a permutation of popped.
4. pushed and popped have distinct values.

Solution: Simulation

Simulate the push/pop operation.

Push element from |pushed sequence| onto stack s one by one and pop when top of the stack s is equal the current element in the |popped sequence|.

Time complexity: O(n)

Space complexity: O(n)
