Which of the following principle does stack use?
(A). Linear data structure
(B). LIFO
(C). Hierarchical data structure
(D). None of these
Question’s Answer: LIFO
FIFO means first element added to the queue is the first one to be removed from queue.
| Data Structure | Principle |
| Stack | LIFO |
| Queue | FIFO |
| Array | linear data structure without an inherent ordering principle |
| Tree | hierarchical data structure without an inherent ordering principle |
| Linked List | linear data structure without an inherent ordering principle |
Example
/* C++ program to implement basic stack
operations */
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
#define Maximum 20
class Stack {
int top;
public:
int a[Maximum]; // Maximum size of Stack
Stack() { top = -1; }
bool push(int x);
int pop();
int peek();
bool isEmpty();
};
bool Stack::push(int x)
{
if (top >= (Maximum - 1)) {
cout << "Stack Overflow";
return false;
}
else {
a[++top] = x;
cout << x << " pushed into stack"<<endl;;
return true;
}
}
int Stack::pop()
{
if (top < 0) {
cout << "Sorry! Stack Underflow";
return 0;
}
else {
int x = a[top--];
return x;
}
}
int Stack::peek()
{
if (top < 0) {
cout << "Great! Stack is Empty";
return 0;
}
else {
int x = a[top];
return x;
}
}
bool Stack::isEmpty()
{
return (top < 0);
}
// Driver program to test above functions
int main()
{
class Stack s;
s.push(3);
s.push(7);
s.push(1);
cout << s.pop() << " Popped from stack"<<endl;;
//display top element of stack after popping
cout << "Top element is : " << s.peek() << endl;
//display all elements in stack :
cout <<"Elements present in stack : ";
while(!s.isEmpty())
{
// display top element in stack
cout << s.peek() <<" ";
// remove top element in stack
s.pop();
}
return 0;
}
Output
3 pushed into stack
7 pushed into stack
1 pushed into stack
1 Popped from stack
Top element is : 7
Elements present in stack : 7 3
