Pseudo Code
Node Structure
STRUCT Node:

data // stores the value of the node

Push Operation

FUNCTION Push(top, value):

newNode ← Create a new Node

IF newNode is NULL:

PRINT "Stack Overflow"

RETURN top

END IF

newNode.data ← value

newNode.next ← top

PRINT value, " pushed onto stack"

RETURN newNode // Return the updated top node

END FUNCTION

Pop Operation
FUNCTION Pop(top):

IF top is NULL:

PRINT "Stack Underflow"

RETURN NULL

END IF

temp ← top

PRINT "Popped element: ", top.data

top ← top.next

Free memory of temp

RETURN top // Return the updated top node

END FUNCTION

Peek Operation
FUNCTION Peek(top):

IF top is NULL:

PRINT "Stack is Empty"

RETURN -1
 END IF

RETURN top.data

END FUNCTION

IsEmpty Operation
FUNCTION IsEmpty(top):

RETURN (top = NULL)
