1057. Stack (30)

/*to solve the problem ,i think we can use stack to maintain the numbers,
and list to keep it sorted,which is very important to find the Median number.

                ls.push_back(stak.top());
                stak.pop();
            }
            //use the unsorted vector to push_back the stack
            for (int i = ls.size()-1; i >=0 ; i—)
            {
                stak.push(ls[i]);
            }
            sort(ls.begin(),ls.end());
            cout<<ls[ls.size()%2 == 0 ? ls.size()/2-1:(ls.size()+1)/2-1]<<endl;
        }
    }
}

At first,i think i could use a temporary stack not only to keep the stack in order but alse to find

the median one . And it is proofed that it is feasible but not effcient ,as everytime we need

to sort the stack as long as we want to use the command “PeekMedian”.

the Time complexity is O(n * log n). then i searched the web. I find someone use the set,

which is virtually a balanced binary tree.so we could reduced the time complexity down to

O(log n). Then i rebuild the code according to this suggestion.
