You want to be able to access the largest element in a stack.
Use the built-instackclass to implement a newclassMaxStack with a methodgetMax 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.

Actually, we don't support password-based login. Never have. Just the OAuth methods above. Why?
It's easy and quick. No "reset password" flow. No password to forget.
It lets us avoid storing passwords that hackers could access and use to try to log into our users' email or bank accounts.
It makes it harder for one person to share a paid Interview Cake account with multiple people.
“Interview Cake takes the cake when it comes to interview prep. After studying for a little over 2 months, I finally cracked a technical interview and got an offer from my dream financial company! Thanks for all the help!
