A stack is a linear data structure in which elements are added and removed according to the last-in, first-out (LIFO) principle. This means that the last element added to the stack is the first element to be removed.
Stacks can be implemented using arrays or linked lists. In an array-based stack, the elements are stored in an array and the insertion and removal of elements is done at the end of the array. In a linked list-based stack, the elements are stored in a linked list and the insertion and removal of elements is done at the head of the linked list.
Here are some examples of real-world applications of stacks:
