503. Next Greater Element II

题目

Given a circular array (the next element of the last element is the first element of the array), print the Next Greater Number for every element. The Next Greater Number of a number x is the first greater number to its traversing-order next in the array, which means you could search circularly to find its next greater number. If it doesn't exist, output -1 for this number.

Example 1:

Input: [1,2,1]
Output: [2,-1,2]
Explanation: The first 1's next greater number is 2; 
The number 2 can't find next greater number; 
The second 1's next greater number needs to search circularly, which is also 2.

Note: The length of given array won't exceed 10000.

题目大意

题目给出数组 A，针对 A 中的每个数组中的元素，要求在 A 数组中找出比该元素大的数，A 是一个循环数组。如果找到了就输出这个值，如果找不到就输出 -1。

解题思路

这题是第 496 题的加强版，在第 496 题的基础上增加了循环数组的条件。这一题可以依旧按照第 496 题的做法继续模拟。更好的做法是用单调栈，栈中记录单调递增的下标。
