Stack Presentation

A stack is a linear, abstract data structure that operates on a Last In, First Out (LIFO) principle, allowing elements to be added or removed only from the top. Key operations include 'push' to insert an element and 'pop' to remove the top element, with potential overflow and underflow states. Stacks are used in various applications such as function calls, undo/redo operations, and expression evaluation.

Stack Data Structure

A fundamental concept in Computer


Science
Introduction to Stack
• - A stack is a linear, abstract data structure.
• - Elements can only be added or deleted from
the top of the stack.
• - No insertion or deletion from anywhere else.
LIFO Principle
• - Stack follows Last In, First Out (LIFO) order.
• - The last element added is the first one
removed.
• - The first element added is the last one
removed.
Stack Operations
• - Push Operation: Insert an element into the
stack.
• - Pop Operation: Remove the top element
from the stack.
Stack Overflow & Underflow
• - Overflow State: Stack is full, push operation
rejected.
• - Underflow State: Stack is empty, pop
operation rejected.
Demonstration of Stack Operations
• 1. Insert 10 → Stored at index 0.
• 2. Insert 20 → Stored at index 1.
• 3. Insert 30 → Stored at index 2.
• 4. Pop → Removes 30.
• 5. Pop → Removes 20.
• 6. Pop → Removes 10 (Stack is empty).
Real-Life Applications of Stack
• - Function calls and recursion.
• - Undo/Redo operations in software.
• - Backtracking (Maze solving, DFS in graphs).
• - Expression evaluation (Postfix, Prefix).
Upcoming Topics
• - Real-life software examples using Stack.
• - Implementation of Stack in C programming.
