this solution is too complicated and would give a runtime error on most platforms. Please try simplifying it.

Java code ,
same approach as sir has followed

 public static long[] solveNextLargerElement(long[] arr,int n){
        long[] ans  = new long[n];
        
        Stack<Integer> stack = new Stack<>();
        
        for(int i=0;i< n;i++){
            if(stack.size()==0){
                stack.push(i);
                continue;
            }
            
            while(stack.size()>0 && arr[i] > arr[stack.peek()]){
                ans[stack.pop()]= arr[i];
            }
            
            stack.push(i);
            
           
            
        }
        
        while(stack.size()>0){
            ans[stack.pop()]=-1;
        }
        
        return ans;
    }
