-    Given an array "input" you need to print the first greater element for each element.
-    For a given element x of an array, the Next greater element of that element is the
-    first greater element to the right side of it. If no such element is present print -1.
-
-    Example
-    input = { 2, 7, 3, 5, 4, 6, 8 };
-    At i = 0
-    Next greater element between (1 to n) is 7
-    At i = 1
-    Next greater element between (2 to n) is 8
-    At i = 2
-    Next greater element between (3 to n) is 5
-    At i = 3
-    Next greater element between (4 to n) is 6
-    At i = 4
-    Next greater element between (5 to n) is 6
-    At i = 5
-    Next greater element between (6 to n) is 8
-    At i = 6
-    Next greater element between (6 to n) is -1
-
-    result : [7, 8, 5, 6, 6, 8, -1]
-
-    1. If the stack is empty Push an element in the stack.
-    2. If the stack is not empty:
-        a.  compare the top element of the stack with next.
-        b.  If next is greater than the top element, Pop element from the stack.
-            next is the next greater element for the popped element.
-        c.  Keep popping from the stack while the popped element is smaller
-            than next. next becomes the next greater element for all such
-            popped elements.
-        d. Finally, push the next in the stack.
-
-    3. If elements are left in stack after completing while loop then their Next greater element is
-   -1.
