+similar approach to what was taught in class, but instead of considering a special additional 1 bucket for 0, I added 10000 as the size (in my earlier lc attempt)
+if feel this approach would look good in interviews as it talks about handling cases in innovative ways
+idea is to create buckets as and when needed (for primary storage) and then follow the same instructions with different approaches for push pop and check operations
+since we just check the boolean value through mathematcal hash funtions, the tc for this is O(1) and space will be O(1) for initialization and o(n) once we start building
