Stacks, Queues and Streams

Some CrowdStrike screens skip the standard library and have you build the container yourself, and screens for C++ roles have leaned this way. Backend rounds add streams, where each new value updates an answer without rescanning everything before it. The code stays short in both cases, so most of the follow-up questions are about the edges.

Write the empty case first. The Falcon sensor runs on customer endpoints, and code there can't fall over on bad input. Know what every operation returns on an empty container before anyone asks. For streams, decide what the answer means before enough values have arrived. When the input is malformed, return a clear error value instead of crashing. Four problems follow, starting with the one that has come up most often.
