In this post we are going to write C++ program to implement stack data structure using Templates in C++.
Stack is an abstract data type which serves as a collection of elements, with two principal operations i.e. push() and pop(). It works based on LIFO operations also known as “last in, first out”.
Initially, the constructor sets the stack contents to NULL and top position to -1 to indicate that the stack is empty.

Add Value Function { top++; // increment to by 1 if (top < max) { arr[top] = a; //If Stack is Vacant store Value in Array } else // Bug the User { MessageBox(0, "STACK IS FULL", "STACK WARNING!", MB_ICONSTOP); top--; } } T pop() // Delete Item. Returns the deleted item { if (top == -1) { MessageBox(0, "STACK IS EMPTY\n", "WARNING", MB_ICONSTOP); return NULL; } else { T data = arr[top]; //Set Topmost Value in data arr[top] = NULL; //Set Original Location to NULL top--; // Decrement top by 1 return data; // return deleted item } } }; void main() { stack<int> a; // Create object of class a with int Template int opt = 1; while (opt != 3) { clrscr(); cout << " MAX STACK CAPACITY=" << ((MAX - a.top) - 1) << "\n\n\n\n"; cout << "1) Push Item\n"; cout << "2) Pop Item\n"; cout << "3) Exit\n\n"; cout << "Option?"; cin >> opt; switch (opt) { case 1: cout << "Which Number should be pushed?"; cin >> a.item; a.push(a.item); break; case 2: a.r = a.pop(); cout << "Item popped from Stack is:" << a.r << endl; sleep(2); break; } } } |
