For a better understanding, we always recommend you to learn the basic topics of C programming listed below:
In this c program, we have to implement a stack. The stack is a linear data structure that uses lifo last in first out to perform push(insert operation), pop(delete operation), and display stack. For that, we have to know more about the stack and its functions. The stack is simply a linear data structure in which the operations are performed in a particular order. In this program, we use 3 operations. They are:
There are mainly three operations are performed in a stack. They are:
We can implement stack mainly in two ways. They are
In this c program, after importing the header files into the program, we declare the variables and structure for the stack and push, pop, and display functions. Now we display the menu for the user to select the operation to do on the stack. Use a switch case statement to select the operation on the stack. Select the case depends on the user's choice. Now we call the respective function to do the operation like push pop or display.
In a push operation, we declare a variable, and we give the user a window to enter the element. Now insert the element into the stack. Similarly, we give the user a window to delete. Check the stack is not empty before deleting anything. If the stack is not empty, delete the top and make the top and top -1. Finally, display the stack elements using a for loop.
STEP 1: Include the header files to use the built-in header files into the C program.
STEP 2: Declare the structured stack with members stk[], top.
STEP 3: Declare the variable s of type STACK.
STEP 4: Declare the function void push(void),void pop(void),void display(void).
STEP 5: Declare the variable choice, option as an integer.
STEP 6: Set s.top=-1 and display STACK OPERATION
STEP 7: Using a while loop with the options display the menu as 1 for push,2 for pop,3 for display 4 for the exit.
STEP 8: Read the choice into the variable choice.
STEP 9: If the choice is 1 then call the function push().
STEP 10: If the choice is 2 then call the function pop().
STEP 11: If the choice is 3 then call the function display().
STEP 12: If the choice is 4, then call the return.
STEP 13: Display You want to continue and read the option into the option. And repeat step 8.
STEP 1: Declare the integer variable num.
STEP 2: Check if s.top=MAXSIZE-1 then display stack is full and return else do step 3.
STEP 3: Read the element to be pushed into a variable num,increment s.top=s.top+1 and place s.stk[s.top]=num and return.
STEP 1: Declare the integer variable num.
STEP 2: Check if s.top=-1 then display stack is empty and return s.top else do step 3.
STEP 3: Set num=s.stk[s.top].
STEP 4: Display popped element as s.stk[s.top]
STEP 5: Decrement s.top=s.top-1.
STEP 5: Return num.
STEP 1: Declare the integer variable i.
STEP 2: Check if s.top=-1 then display stack is empty and return s.top else do step 3.
STEP 3: Display the status of the stack is.
STEP 4: By using a for loop with condition i>=0 display s.stk[i].
STEP 5: Decrement 'i' by one. And repeat step 4.
