MCQ IN COMPUTER SCIENCE & ENGINEERING

Detailed explanation-1: -A pile of books, a stack of dinner plates, a box of pringles potato chips can all be thought of examples of stacks. The basic operating principle is that last item you put in is first item you can take out. That is, that a stack is a Last In First Out (LIFO) structure.

Detailed explanation-2: -Examples of stacks in “real life": The stack of trays in a cafeteria; A stack of plates in a cupboard; A driveway that is only one car wide.

Detailed explanation-3: -A stack is a linear data structure that follows the principle of Last In First Out (LIFO). This means the last element inserted inside the stack is removed first. You can think of the stack data structure as the pile of plates on top of another.

Detailed explanation-4: -Stack is a container of objects that are inserted and removed according to the last-in first-out (LIFO) principle. Queue is a container of objects (a linear collection) that are inserted and removed according to the first-in first-out (FIFO) principle.

Detailed explanation-5: -A stack is an abstract data type that holds an ordered, linear sequence of items. In contrast to a queue, a stack is a last in, first out (LIFO) structure.
