Study Notes
- Data structures and algorithms are being discussed.
- Ahmed Adeeb Jalal is the assistant professor for this course
- The course is for the Computer Engineering Department at the College of Engineering at Al- Iraqia University, Level 2, Second Semester.
Stacks
- A stack is a data structure operating on the principle of LIFO (Last In, First Out).
- Elements are inserted by pushing onto the stack
- Elements are both inserted and removed from one end in a stack.
- Input to a stack uses 'push,' while output uses 'pop' and 'top.'
- The 'top' of the stack refers to the most recently pushed object.
- Stack class serves as a container adapter, encapsulating objects of the same data type and providing member functions to access its elements.
- Browsers use a stack to store the addresses of recently visited sites.
- Word processors commonly use an "undo" mechanism which cancels recent edits and reverts to former states via a stack.
Stack Model
- Only the top element is accessible
Stack Functions
- empty(): This function checks whether the stack is empty, returning True if it is and False otherwise.
- size(): Returns the number of elements currently stored in the stack.
- top(): Provides a reference to the element located at the top of the stack.
- push(g): Inserts a new element 'g' onto the top of the stack.
- pop(): Removes the existing top element from the stack.
