Advantages of Monotonic Stack
- Efficient for finding the next greater or smaller element in an array.
- Useful for solving a variety of problems, such as finding the nearest smaller element or calculating the maximum area of histograms.
- In many cases, the time complexity of algorithms using monotonic stacks is linear, making them efficient for processing large datasets.
Introduction to Monotonic Stack – Data Structure and Algorithm Tutorials
A monotonic stack is a special data structure used in algorithmic problem-solving. Monotonic Stack maintaining elements in either increasing or decreasing order. It is commonly used to efficiently solve problems such as finding the next greater or smaller element in an array etc.
