The numbers 1-5 are inserted, in order, into a stack. Numbers are removed from the stack one-by-one and pushed into another array (numbers could be removed at any time, even before all the numbers have been added to the stack). What order of numbers in the array could NOT be produced by this scenario? Write code to determine if a sequence of numbers could have been produced by this scenario.
