Disadvantages of Stack

The document compares the advantages and disadvantages of using a stack data structure. Some key advantages of a stack include efficient data and memory management through LIFO operations, smart automatic cleanup of objects, and low corruption risk. Meanwhile, potential disadvantages are limited memory size, risk of overflow from excessive objects, inability to randomly access data, and unreliable behavior if variables are overwritten.
