They are classified as

1. Linear data structures

Data items are arranged and accessed in a linear sequence ie. one after the other. T hey inude

a) Arrays

consecutive numbers. Size of an
array= (upper bound

lower bound) *1
b) Linked list which
t1s a collection of nodes. A node has one information field and other pontr tields,
contain address of other nodes.
c) Stacks
at one end
Stack is a last in first out (LIFO) system, in which insertion aúd deleioD,take place
ie. top end
d) Queue

Queue is a first in tirst out (FIFO) system,
in which deletion 1ake place
and imsertiOn at the other end (ie. rear).

Applications of Stack

is used for applicatioms in is

The basic applications of stack are

1. Nested funetion calls
The address and the inlormation o f ealling lunction is stored in stack., at point ot jumping and

later retrieved, to returm back from the called functin

2. Recursion
The inforimation of previous values is stored when a recursion function calls itsell with a

different value, later that information is retrieved when the function returns back.

3. Evaluation and conversion of expressions

Expression refers to a combination o f operands and operators. They are represpateu
arious
torms or notations, such as
a) Infix (General notation) b
Operatsf Opera2 Ex.
+
a
Position of operator is inbetween the operands i.e OperandI
b) Prefix (Polish notation)
+ab
Position of operator is before the operands i.e Operator Operand pETdord2 Ex.
c) Postfix (Reverse Polish notation)
Ex. b +

Position of operator is after the operands i.e Operandl Qperandh2 Opertator a
