Stack

Wikipedia on stacks.

Similarly, the Linked List, a stack is an abstract data type. It is LIFO, or Last In First Out. Each node holds data and a pointer to the next node.

The main operations available to the Stack are push and pop.

  • Pop should remove the top node and return it.
  • Push should add to the top of the stack.

Methods

Create your datatypes and create the following methods:

  • push - adds to the stack

  • pop - removes from the top of the stack

  • peek - Find the item at the top of the stack

  • empty - Is the stack empty?

Additional Methods

In the wikipedia article, read under the title "Hardware Stacks". Emulating a hardware stack, add the operations it lists to your class. This is open ended and implementation is up to you.
