    Explain the principle of last-in-first-out (LIFO) system with respect to a stack data structure.

    <p>The principle of last-in-first-out (LIFO) system in a stack data structure means that the element which is inserted last will be the first one to be removed. In other words, the most recently added element is the first one to be removed from the stack.</p> Signup and view all the answers

    How can a stack data structure be represented?

    <p>A stack data structure can be represented by means of a one way list or a linear array. The stack is maintained by a linear array, where a variable TOP contains the location of the top element of the stack, and a variable N gives the maximum number of elements that can be held by the stack.</p> Signup and view all the answers
