Implement Stack Using Linked List
Objective: Write an algorithm to implement Stack using Linked List.
If you do not know about then for starters its abstract data type in which follows the principle of LIFO (Last-In-First-Out) which means the data goes in last comes out first to read about in detail please read this link Stack
Approach:
Solution is quite simple, Earlier we have seen an article “Linked List Implementation“, we need to make some changes to make it work as Stack.
Stack Operations:
Push() : Insert the element into linked list at the beginning and increase the size of the list. O(1) operation.
Pop() : Return the element first node from the linked list and move the head pointer to the second node. Decrease the size of the list. O(1) operation.
getSize(): Return the size of linked list.
displayStack(): Print the linked list.
Complete Code:
Output:
Element 1 is pushed into Stack Element 2 is pushed into Stack Element 4 is pushed into Stack 4 2 1 Pop out element 4 2 1
Note: Also read, Track the Maximum Element in a Stack. This problem was asked in Yahoo in Software Engineer position.
