StackStack

Last In First Out (LIFO)Last In First Out (LIFO) Operations:Operations:

• PushPush• PopPop

Stack - PushStack - Push

Put an element on the top of the stackPut an element on the top of the stack

if (top==MAX_SIZE) //stack is fullif (top==MAX_SIZE) //stack is full output “error: stack overflow”output “error: stack overflow”

elseelse stack[top++] = data;stack[top++] = data;

Stack - PopStack - Pop

Remove the element on the top of the stackRemove the element on the top of the stack

if (top==0) //the stack is emptyif (top==0) //the stack is emptyoutput “Error: stack underflow”output “Error: stack underflow”

else{ else{ // tmp = stack[--top]; // tmp = stack[--top]; --top;--top;
