#=============================================================================
# You are given an integer array @ints where each element is either a
# positive integer or -1. We process the array from left to right while
# maintaining two lists:
# @seen: stores previously seen positive integers (newest at the front)
# @ans: stores the answers for each -1
#
# Rules:
# If $ints[i] is a positive number -> insert it at the front of @seen
# If $ints[i] is -1:
# Let $x be how many -1s in a row we’ve seen before this one.
# If $x < len(@seen) -> append seen[x] to @ans
# Else -> append -1 to @ans
#
# At the end, return @ans.
#
# Example 1 Input: @ints = (5, -1, -1)
# Output: (5, -1)
# @seen = (5)
# First -1: @ans = (5)
# Second -1: @ans = (5, -1)
# Example 2 Input: @ints = (3, 7, -1, -1, -1)
# Output: (7, 3, -1)
# @seen = (3, 7)
# First -1: @ans = (7)
# Second -1: @ans = (7, 3)
# Third -1: @ans = (7, 3, -1)
# Example 3 Input: @ints = (2, -1, 4, -1, -1)
# Output: (2, 4, 2)
# Example 4 Input: @ints = (10, 20, -1, 30, -1, -1)
# Output: (20, 30, 20)
# Example 5 Input: @ints = (-1, -1, 5, -1)
# Output: (-1, -1, 5)
