Problem 5 (Stacks): A stack of integer elements is implemented as an array. The index of the top element is kept in position 0 in the array, and the stack elements are stored in stack[1], …, stack[stack[0]]. 1. How does this implementation fare when assessed against the idea of an array as a homogeneous collection of data elements? 2. How would this implementation change the stack specification? 3. How would it change the implementation of the functions?
