Min Stack in O(1)

EasyPython

Problem

Saviynt access-request processing needs a stack that can retrieve the lowest risk score currently present without scanning all pending requests. Implement process_min_stack(operations) to process stack commands while ensuring every command runs in O(1) time.

Formal Specification

  • operations is a list of commands. A push command has the form ["push", value]; pop and minimum queries have the forms ["pop"] and ["get_min"].
  • value is an integer.
  • Return a list containing the result of every pop and get_min command, in execution order. Push commands produce no output.
  • The input will never attempt pop or get_min on an empty stack.

Constraints

  • 1 <= len(operations) <= 10^5
  • -10^9 <= value <= 10^9
  • Each command is valid and uses the specified format
  • Pop and minimum commands are never applied to an empty stack
