Easy Data Structures Stacks & Queues

What is a stack and what are its main operations?

Answer

A stack is a linear data structure following Last-In-First-Out (LIFO) principle where elements are added and removed from the same end called the top. Main operations are push (add element to top), pop (remove top element), peek/top (view top element without removing), and isEmpty (check if stack is empty). All these operations have O(1) time complexity.
