SOLUTION
The push, pop and inc can all take place in O(1) time
if there is an additional array to maintain the m incremented at each position n.

class Stack:
    def __init__(self):
        self.nums = []
        self.add = []
    
    def push(self,num):
        self.nums.append(num)
        self.add.append(0)
        print num," "
        
    def pop(self):
        try:
            number_to_add = self.add.pop()
            print self.nums.pop() + number_to_add
            if self.add:
                self.add[-1] += number_to_add
        except:
            print "can't pop from an empty stack"
            
    def inc(self, n, m):
        if not self.nums:
            print "empty"
        if n > 0:
            n = min(n, len(self.nums))
            self.add[n - 1] += m
        print self.nums[-1] + self.add[-1], " "
