Introduction to Stack

Learn the stack data structure: LIFO, operations, and interview problems. Free stack introduction.

Learning Outcomes

  • Implement push, pop, and peek
  • State time complexity for those operations
  • Solve a parentheses-matching example
  • Relate the call stack to recursion

Overview

A stack is last-in, first-out. Push, pop, and peek are the three operations you must know cold.

This introduction connects stacks to undo, call stacks, and balanced parentheses.

Implementations may use arrays or linked lists.
