::::warning
Could you find an O(nums1.length + nums2.length) solution?
::::
### Example 1:
- Input: `nums1 = [4,1,2], nums2 = [1,3,4,2]`
- Output: `[-1,3,-1]`
- Explanation:
- The next greater element for each value of `nums1` is as follows:
- `4` is underlined in `nums2 = [1,3,4,2]`. There is no next greater element, so the answer is `-1`.
- `1` is underlined in `nums2 = [1,3,4,2]`. The next greater element is `3`.
- `2` is underlined in `nums2 = [1,3,4,2]`. There is no next greater element, so the answer is `-1`.
### Example 2:
- Input: `nums1 = [2,4], nums2 = [1,2,3,4]`
- Output: `[3,-1]`
- Explanation:
- The next greater element for each value of `nums1` is as follows:
- `2` is underlined in `nums2 = [1,2,3,4]`. The next greater element is `3`.
- `4` is underlined in `nums2 = [1,2,3,4]`. There is no next greater element, so the answer is `-1`.
### Constraints:
- `1 <= nums1.length <= nums2.length <= 1000`
- `0 <= nums1[i], nums2[i] <= 10^4`
- All integers in `nums1` and `nums2` are unique.
- All the integers of `nums1` also appear in nums2.
## Solution
```py
class Solution:
def nextGreaterElement(self, nums1: list[int], nums2: list[int]) -> list[int]:
mono_stack = []
next_greater = {}
for cur in nums2:
while mono_stack and cur > mono_stack[-1]:
val = mono_stack.pop()
next_greater[val] = cur
mono_stack.append(cur)
return [next_greater.get(x, -1) for x in nums1]
```
