In this video, solve LeetCode 496: Next Greater Element I using an efficient monotonic stack + hash map solution in JavaScript.

You are given two arrays nums1 and nums2, where nums1 is a subset of nums2. For each element in nums1, you must find its next greater element to the right in nums2, or return -1 if it doesn’t exist.

What you’ll learn:What “next greater element to the right in nums2” really means.How to traverse nums2 with a decreasing monotonic stack to precompute next greater values in O(n).

How to store results in a map and answer all nums1 queries in O(m).Full JavaScript implementation, brute force vs optimized, and complexity analysis.

📌 Examples:
nums1 = [4,1,2], nums2 = [1,3,4,2] → [-1,3,-1]
nums1 = [2,4], nums2 = [1,2,3,4] → [3,-1]
Perfect for stack patterns, array + map problems, and coding interview prep in JavaScript.
