ABSTRACT DATA TYPES (ADTs)

An ADT is a collection of data and a set of operations on that dat.
Examples of Abstract Data Types
1. Queue
2. Stack
3. Linked List
STACKS

A stack is a list containing several items operating using last-in-first out (LIFO)
principle. Items can be added to the stack(PUSH) and can be removed from the
stack (POP).
The first item added to the stack is the last the last one to removed from the stack
