intermediatejavascript
Background
This classic problem tests understanding of amortized analysis and the relationship between LIFO and FIFO structures.
Problem
Write a Queue class that implements FIFO ordering using two stacks internally, with efficient amortized dequeue operations.
Input
No input; the queue is initialized empty with two internal stacks.
Output
A Queue instance with enqueue and dequeue methods following FIFO order.
Sample tests
Sample 1
Input: enqueue(1), enqueue(2), dequeue()
Expected: 1
