Stack
A stack is a data structure that resembles a stack of
trays in a spring loaded bin.
A tray will be added to the bin on top of the stack.
When you add a tray, the previous one on top will go down by one position.
You can add trays till the first trays reach the bottom
of the stack. Similarly, a tray can be removed only
from the top of the stack.
In the computer science item is nothing but a data
element or an object.
Therefore a stack is a list in which items are added,
deleted or examined at one only one end.
The size of the stack is defined by the user before
compilation and hence this is a static data structure.
It adopts LIFO (last in first out ) methodology for
storage and retrieval.
