+# [155. Min Stack](https://leetcode.com/problems/min-stack/description/)
+
+## Description
+
+Create a special type of stack called MinStack that, in addition to the usual stack operations, can also return the minimum element currently in the stack — all in constant time (O(1)).
+
+The MinStack class should support the following operations:
+
+1. `MinStack()`: Initializes a new instance of the stack.
+
+2. `void push(int val)`: Adds the given value `val` to the top of the stack.
+
+3. `void pop()`: Removes the top element from the stack.
+
+4. `int top()`: Returns the element currently at the top of the stack.
+
+5. `int getMin()`: Returns the smallest element in the stack at any given time.
+
+Make sure that all these methods run in constant time.
+
+
+**Example 1:**
+```
+Input:
+["MinStack","push","push","top","push","getMin","pop","top","getMin"]
+[[],[-1],[3],[],[-2],[],[],[],[]]
+
+Output: [null,null,3,null,-2,null,3,-1]
+
+Explanation:
+MinStack minStack = new MinStack();
+minStack.push(-1);
+minStack.push(3);
+minStack.top();    // return 3
+minStack.push(-2);
+minStack.getMin(); // return -2
+minStack.pop();
+minStack.top();    // return 3
+minStack.getMin(); // return -1
+```
+
+**Constraints:**
+
+* `-231 <= val <= 231 - 1`
+* Methods `pop`, `top` and `getMin` operations will always be called on non-empty stacks.
+* At most `3 * 10^4` calls will be made to `push`, `pop`, `top`, and `getMin`.
+
+## Solution
+
+Intuitively remove non-alphanumeric and change others to lowercase.
+
+```java
+```
+
+```python
+```
+
+## Complexity
+
+- Time complexity: $$O(1)$$
+<!-- Add time complexity here, e.g. $$O(n)$$ -->
+
+- Space complexity: $$O(n)$$
+<!-- Add space complexity here, e.g. $$O(n)$$ -->
