I’m implementing a stack using two queues in Java. I’ve found two approaches: one makes push operations efficient but slows down pop, and the other does the opposite. I’m unsure which is better and in what situations. Can someone explain the trade-offs and suggest the best method?
I implemented both approaches: one with efficient push operations and another with efficient pop operations. In both cases, I expected a balance between the speed of push and pop operations, but found that one operation is always significantly slower depending on the approach. I’m looking for guidance on whether there’s a way to optimize this or if there’s a better method to achieve a more balanced performance.
