Study Notes

Characteristics of a Stack

A stack data structure follows the Last-In-First-Out (LIFO) principle, meaning the last element added is the first one to be removed.

Uses of Stacks

Stacks are used to parse syntax in compilers and interpreters.
They are used to implement recursive algorithms.
They are used to evaluate postfix expressions.
They are used to implement undo and redo functionality in text editing software.

Creating a Generic Stack in Java

The syntax to create a generic stack in Java is: Stack stack = new Stack<>();

'push' Operation

The 'push' operation adds an element to the top of the stack.
It increases the size of the stack by one.

'isEmpty()' Method

The 'isEmpty()' method checks if the stack is empty.
It returns a boolean value: true if the stack is empty, false otherwise.
