Overview

Stack is a fundamental linear data structure that follows the Last-In-First-Out (LIFO) principle, similar to a pile of plates or books where you can only add or remove items from the top. This chapter explores stack operations, implementation in Python, and important applications in computer science

Key Concepts

A linear data structure where elements

A linear data structure where elements are arranged in a sequence and follow LIFO principle. Elements can only be added or removed from one end called

Last

Last-In-First-Out means the element inserted last will be the first one to be removed from the stack, like removing the top plate from a stack of plat

Insertion operation that adds a new

Insertion operation that adds a new element to the TOP of the stack. In Python, implemented using append() method of lists.

Deletion operation that removes the topmost

Deletion operation that removes the topmost element from the stack. In Python, implemented using pop() method of lists.

Different ways to write arithmetic expressions

Different ways to write arithmetic expressions: Infix (operators between operands like x+y), Prefix (operators before operands like +xy), Postfix (ope
