Linear Data Structures Quiz

What type of ordering does a stack follow for removal of elements?

What is the data structure that allows all deletions and insertions only on one end?

Which operation is used to insert an element onto a stack?

What operation is used to access and remove the top element of a stack?

What is the name of the operation used to search an element in a stack without removing it?

Explain the concept of a stack data structure and how it is operated.

Describe the stack operations Push, Pop, Peek, and Update with examples.

What is the expected result after the following stack operations: Push A, Push B, Push C, Pop, Push D, Push E, Pop, Push F?

Explain the procedure for the PUSH operation in a stack, as mentioned in the text.

Illustrate the implementation of a stack to store and retrieve a sequence of elements, using the given text as a reference.

Stack Data Structure Overview

Operates on the principle of Last In First Out (LIFO), meaning the last element added is the first to be removed.
Allows for all insertions and deletions at one end, known as the top of the stack.

Stack Operations

Push: Operation to insert an element onto the stack.
- Example: After executing Push A, the stack contains A at the top.
Pop: Operation to access and remove the top element of the stack.
- Example: If the stack is A, B, C, executing Pop removes C, leaving B at the top.
Peek: Operation used to view the top element without removing it from the stack.
Update: Operation to modify the top element of the stack.

Example of Stack Operations

Initial operations: Push A, Push B, Push C.
After Pop, C is removed: The new stack is A, B.
Push D and Push E: New stack becomes A, B, D, E.
Executing Pop removes E, resulting in A, B, D.
Push F: The final stack is A, B, D, F.

Expected Result of Sequence

Sequence: Push A, Push B, Push C, Pop, Push D, Push E, Pop, Push F.
- Final stack state after these operations: A, B, D, F.

PUSH Operation Procedure

The PUSH operation adds an element at the top of the stack.
If the stack is not full, the element is placed on the top, and the top pointer is updated.

Implementation of a Stack

A stack can be implemented using an array or linked list.
Operations like Push and Pop involve maintaining the top index and ensuring it references the current top element, enabling efficient storage and retrieval of elements.
