Monotonic Stack

: 单调栈的一大优势就是 线性的时间复杂度，所有的元素只会进栈一次，而且一旦出栈后就不会再进来了。

单调递增栈可以找到左起第一个比当前数字小的元素。

单调递减栈可以找到左起第一个比当前数字大的元素。

Tips: 栈中可以存下标，也可以直接存元素。

一亩三分地的讨论：

单调栈何时用： 为任意一个元素找左边和右边第一个比自己大/小的位置，用单调栈 用递增单调栈还是递减单调栈：递减栈会剔除波谷，留下波峰；递增栈剔除波峰，留下波谷

LeetCode Example

  • 42

  • 84

  • 85

Monotonic Queue

A monotonic Queue is a data structure the elements from the front to the end is strictly either increasing or decreasing.

LeetCode Example

  • 581 Shortest Unsorted Continuous Subarray

  • 496 Next Greater Element I

  • 503 Next Greater Element II

  • 862 Shortest Subarray with Sum at Least K

  • 84 Largest Rectangle in Histogram

  • 122 Best Time to Buy and Sell Stock II
