Gives runtime error

You are not updating ‘k’ in your code which is to track the total number of books currently in the stack , i guess .
There may be other mistakes in your code , but this one is definitely there.

Also there is one obvious logical error .

After the removal of some number of book above and including the minimum , the new minimum will be in books left apart from the books that may get added further . You can’t just update new minimum on the basis of current minimum and the number just added .

Say you have
3 maths
5 science
2 english
8 zoology

after english is removed , if i add “9 botany” and then remove by giving “-1” then you should pop out maths .
