  • Check if an array is stack sortable

    Given the numbers 1, 2, 3, ..., n as an array in arbitrary order, you are asked to check if the given array is stack-sortable. The array A is stack-sortable if it’s possible to obtain an array B using an auxiliary stack and B would be sorted in increasing order by the end of the algorithm execution. The allowed operations are:
    1. Remove the first element from A and push it onto the stack.
    1. Remove the top element from the stack and append it to the end of B.
    If B is sorted in increasing order, then A is stack-sortable.

    Input

    The first line of the input contains a single integer n (1 ≀ n ≀ ).
    The next line contains n space-separated integers (1 ≀ ≀ n).

    Output

    The program should print Yes if A is stack-sortable and No otherwise.

    Examples

    3 1 2 3
    Yes
    4 2 4 1 3
    No

    Explanation

    A = [4, 1, 2, 3], S = [], B = []
    1. Operation 1: A = [1, 2, 3], S = [4], B = []
    1. Operation 1: A = [2, 3], S = [4, 1], B = []
    1. Operation 2: A = [2, 3], S = [4], B = [1]
    1. Operation 1: A = [3], S = [4, 2], B = [1]
    1. Operation 2: A = [3], S = [4], B = [1, 2]
    1. Operation 1: A = [], S = [4, 3], B = [1, 2]
    1. Operation 2: A = [], S = [4], B = [1, 2, 3]
    1. Operation 2: A = [], S = [], B = [1, 2, 3, 4]
    A = [3, 2, 1], S = [], B = []
    1. Operation 1: A = [2, 1], S = [3], B = []
    1. Operation 1: A = [1], S = [3, 2], B = []
    1. Operation 1: A = [], S = [3, 2, 1], B = []
    1. Operation 2: A = [], S = [3, 2], B = [1]
    1. Operation 2: A = [], S = [3], B = [1, 2]
    1. Operation 2: A = [], S = [], B = [1, 2, 3]
    A = [1, 2, 3], S = [], B = []
    1. Operation 1: A = [2, 3], S = [1], B = []
    1. Operation 2: A = [2, 3], S = [], B = [1]
    1. Operation 1: A = [3], S = [2], B = [1]
    1. Operation 2: A = [3], S = [], B = [1, 2]
    1. Operation 1: A = [], S = [3], B = [1, 2]
    1. Operation 2: A = [], S = [], B = [1, 2, 3]
    It’s impossible to stack-sort the array [2, 4, 1, 3]
