Is Empty

 * Title: Stack With Get-Min
 * Project: geekviewpoint
 * Package: datastructure
 *
 * Description: Normally, only the top of a stack is available for
 *    peeking and popping. Here, however, the requirement is to make
 *    the minimum value on the stack always viewable in O(1).
 *    To that end, in addition to the primary stack of operation
 *    (called primary), a separate stack (called minimums) must be
 *    used to track the minimum value on the primary stack. The point
 *    is not to pop the minimum value in O(1); that would require a
 *    bit more work. Rather, the getMinimum function allows peeking
 *    into the stack, as it were, to see the minimum value on the
 *    stack.
 *
 *    Throughout the implementation it should be clear that the
 *    primary stack is the real (i.e. representative) stack and that
 *    the minimums stack is an auxiliary stack that exists only so
 *    the getMinimum() function may exist.

   * Technical Details: either primary.isEmpty() or minimums.isEmpty()

   *     Notice that the minimums stack will never be empty unless
   *     the primary stack is also empty; vice versa.
