A brief summary of STACK, C++.


Stack: is a restricted version of linear/Linked lists. When the insertions and deletions on a linked list are restricted to be on the same end the resulting data structure is a Stack.

Definition:Stack is List in which the insertions(Push) and deletions (Pop) are performed at the same end which is called a TOP.

Stack is a LIFO structure.

Stack is a very popular Data structure, it place an important role in solving problems which are recursive in nature. In C++ we have the STL implementation of Stack data structure called "stack"

 The below implementation of a stack is a custom implementation of stack. I am using this to write non-recursive solutions for Binary Tree based problems.Hopefully i will be adding a template based general implementation of stack very soon.
