What to Focus On

  • A data structure stores, organises and accesses data efficiently.
  • A linear data structure stores elements in sequence.
  • Stack is a linear data structure.
  • PUSH inserts an element.
  • POP deletes an element.
  • Overflow happens when adding to a full stack.
  • glassStack is an empty list used as a stack.
  • opPush uses append().
  • opPop uses pop() and returns the deleted element.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

A stack works like a queue, so the first element inserted is also the first element removed.

TOP is a separate variable that must always be declared in a Python stack implementation.

PUSH and POP can be performed from either end of the stack.
