Use yourStackstructure to implement a newstructureMaxStack with a functiongetMax that returns the largest element in the stack.getMax should not remove the item.
Your stacks will contain only integers.
What if we push several items in increasing numeric order (like 1, 2, 3, 4...), so that there is a new max after each push? What if we then pop each of these items off, so that there is a new max after each pop? Your algorithm shouldn't pay a steep cost in these edge cases.
You should be able to get a runtime of for push, pop, and getMax.
