28-Apr-2023PUSH and POP are two basic operations used in data structures to insert and remove elements from a stack.
The PUSH operation adds an element to the top of the stack, whereas the POP operation removes the element from the top of the stack.
Here's a more detailed explanation of each operation:
PUSH:
POP:
In simple terms, PUSH adds an element to the stack, and POP removes an element from the stack.
Here's an example to illustrate how PUSH and POP work:
Let's say we have a stack that initially contains the elements [1, 2, 3]. If we perform a PUSH operation with the element 4, the stack will then contain the elements [1, 2, 3, 4]. If we then perform a POP operation, the top element (4) will be removed from the stack, and the stack will contain the elements [1, 2, 3] again.
In summary, PUSH adds an element to the top of the stack, and POP removes the top element from the stack.

Here we are a discussion about the functionality of Pushing and popping. These are applied to the way any data is stored and retrieved in a stack. The push denotes data being added to it, meaning data is being “pushed” onto the stack. Even then, a pop denotes data retrieval, and in particular, refers to the topmost data being accessed.
