Question
10. Write a program which will rearrange and sort a stack of integer values,
using two other stacks. The following algorithm describes how to do this:
1. Start with a stack of numbers named primary and two empty stacks
named 1ower and higher.
2. Pop the first number from your primary stack and put it into the 1ower
stack
3. Pop the next number from your primary stack, if it is smaller than the
number you previously put into the lower stack, then add it to the
lower stack, otherwise put it in the higher stack.
4. Repeat step 3 until the primary stack is empty.
5. Pop each of the elements from the lower stack and add them back into
the primary stack.
6. Pop each element of the higher stack. If the value is greater than the
value at the head of the primary stack, then add it onto the primary
stack, otherwise add the number into the lower stack.
7. Repeat the process from steps 3 through to step 6 until both the higher
and lower stacks contain no elements. At this point, the primary stack
will be sorted.
