How would you design a stack which, in addition to push and pop, also has a function min which returns the minimum element? Push,pop and min should all operate in O(1) time.

File:StackBox.java
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
package org.developersbrain.solutions;

class Student{
String studentName;
int   totalMarks;
String grade;

Student(String studentName,int totalMarks,String grade){
this.studentName = studentName;
this.totalMarks  = totalMarks;
this.grade       = grade;
}

public int hashCode(){
return totalMarks;
}

public String toString(){
System.out.println("Student Name :"+this.studentName);
System.out.println("Total Marks :"+this.totalMarks);
System.out.println("Grade :"+this.grade);
System.out.println();
System.out.println("-------------------------------------------");
return "";
}
}

class StackNode<ELEMENT>{
StackNode<ELEMENT> next;
ELEMENT e;
    ELEMENT min;
StackNode(ELEMENT e){
this.e = e;
next = null;
}
}
public class StackBox<ELEMENT> {
StackNode<ELEMENT> top;

StackBox(){
top=null;
}

void push(ELEMENT e){
StackNode<ELEMENT> snode=new StackNode<ELEMENT>(e);
if(top==null){
top = snode;
top.min=top.e;
}else{
if(snode.e.hashCode()<top.min.hashCode()){
snode.min=snode.e;
}else{
snode.min=top.min;
}
snode.next =top;
top=snode;
}
}

void pop(){
StackNode<ELEMENT> pNode=top;
if(pNode==null){
System.out.println("Stack Empty!");
}else{
System.out.println(pNode.e.toString());
top=top.next;
}
}

void min(){
System.out.println(top.min.toString());
}

void printStack(){
StackNode<ELEMENT> pNode=top;
while(pNode!=null){
pNode.e.toString();
pNode=pNode.next;
}
}
}

File:MainClass.java
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
package org.developersbrain.solutions;

import java.io.IOException;

public class MainClass {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException{
StackBox<Student> sb=new StackBox<Student>();
sb.push(new Student("Student1",400,"B"));
sb.push(new Student("Student2",450,"A"));
sb.push(new Student("Student3",420,"B"));
sb.push(new Student("Student4",440,"B"));
sb.push(new Student("Student5",460,"A"));
System.out.println("Print Stack elements");
System.out.println("---------------------------------------------");
sb.printStack();
System.out.println();
System.out.println("Student Who scored the least score");
System.out.println("---------------------------------------------");
sb.min();
}
}

Program Output:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Print Stack elements
---------------------------------------------
Student Name :Student5
Total Marks :460
Grade :A

-------------------------------------------
Student Name :Student4
Total Marks :440
Grade :B

-------------------------------------------
Student Name :Student3
Total Marks :420
Grade :B

-------------------------------------------
Student Name :Student2
Total Marks :450
Grade :A

-------------------------------------------
Student Name :Student1
Total Marks :400
Grade :B

-------------------------------------------

Student Who scored the least score
---------------------------------------------
Student Name :Student1
Total Marks :400
Grade :B

-------------------------------------------

Java Interface

Problem Statement A Java interface can only contain method signatures and fields. Interface can be used to achieve polymorphism. In this problem you will practice your knowledge on interfaces. You are given an interface   AdvancedArithmetic   which contains a method signature   public abstract int divisorSum(int n) . You need to write a class called MyCalculator which implements the interface. divisorSum   function just takes an integer as input and return the sum of all its divisors. For example divisors of 6 are 1,2,3 and 6, so   divisorSum   should return 12. Value of n will be at most 1000. Read the partially completed code in the editor and complete it. You just need to write the MyCalculator class only.   Your class shouldn't be public. Sample Input 6 Sample Output I implemented: AdvancedArithmetic 12 Explanation Divisors of 6 are 1,2,3 and 6. 1+2+3+6=12. import java.util.*; interface AdvancedArithmetic{   p...

Dominator: Find an index of an array such that its value occurs at more than half of indices in the array.

Dominator Find an index of an array such that its value occurs at more than half of indices in the array. Task description A zero-indexed array A consisting of N integers is given. The dominator  of array A is the value that occurs in more than half of the elements of A. For example, consider array A such that A[0] = 3 A[1] = 4 A[2] = 3 A[3] = 2 A[4] = 3 A[5] = -1 A[6] = 3 A[7] = 3 The dominator of A is 3 because it occurs in 5 out of 8 elements of A (namely in those with indices 0, 2, 4, 6 and 7) and 5 is more than a half of 8. Write a function class Solution { public int solution(int[] A); } that, given a zero-indexed array A consisting of N integers, returns index of any element of array A in which the dominator of A occurs. The function should return −1 if array A does not have a dominator. Assume that: N is an integer within the range [ 0 .. 100,000 ]; each element of array A is an integer within the range [ −2,147,483,648 .. 2,147,483...

Java Abstract Class

Problem Statement A Java abstract class is a class that can't be instantiated, that means you cannot create new instances of an abstract class. It works as a base for subclasses. You should learn about Java Inheritence before attempting this challenge. Following is an example of abstact class: abstract class Book {     String title;     abstract void setTitle(String s);     String getTitle()     {         return title;     } } If you try to create an instance of this class like the following line you will get an error: Book new_novel=new Book(); You have to create another class that extends the abstract class. Then you can create instance of the new class. Notice that   setTitle   method is abstract too and has no body. That means you must implement the body of the that method in the child class. In the editor we have provided ...
