Ronny Vikes · Answer

use a second stack to track the min

Whoever · Answer

It's not sufficient just to update the min on push(0.
Need to be able to "backtrack" if pop() removes that min as well.

I would have approached it like this:

Implement a stack with
- fields: size = size of stack, first = first node, min = min node
- methods/functions: pop, push, peek, min

Then as you insert each element, you update the reference to min.
When you call stack.min() - you get a reference to min
