If there is no such price, output -1 for that day. Input Format: - The first line contains an integer n (1 <= n <= 10^5), the number of days. - The second line contains n space-separated integers, representing stock prices. Output Format: - Output a single line containing n space-separated integers, representing the most recent higher stock price from prior days. Example: Input: 5 100 80 90 70 110 Output: -1 100 100 90 -1
