Program Plan Intro

Stack:

  • A stack denotes a data structure that retrieves data in reverse of order in which data is stored.
  • The top items present in the stack are to be removed first.
  • It is called as a last in first out data structure.
  • It could be used for keeping track of function calls in a program.
  • The insertion as well as removal of elements takes place at same end.
  • The upper part of stack where insertion and removal takes place is known as “top”.
  • The part opposite to “top” is termed as “base” of stack.
  • It provides an ordering based on length of time in collection.
  • The newer items will be near top whereas older items are near base.
