HackerRank Queue using Two Stacks problem solution

In this tutorial, we are going to solve or make a solution of Queue using the Two Stacks problem. so first we need to implement a queue using two stacks. and then we need to perform three queries on the stack. first en queue an element, de queue the element at the front of the queue. after that print the element at the front of the queue.

for _ in range(int(input())):
    val = list(map(int,input().split()))
    if val[0] == 1:
        new.append(val[1])
    elif val[0] == 2:
        if not old :
            while new : old.append(new.pop())
        old.pop()
    else:
        print(old[-1] if old else new[0])

  1. The Javascript solution doesn't use two stacks.

    1. It takes too long (for some test cases) to use two stacks, which makes the runtime complexity to be only enqueue = O(n) and dequeue = O(1) OR only dequeue = O(n) and enqueue = O(1), rendering the solution incomplete.

    2. Yeah unfortunately this is what I experienced as well
