std::stack

std::stack is a data structure that represents a stack, a last-in, first-out (LIFO) data structure. It is implemented as an adapter class, which means it is built on top of other containers, such as std::deque, std::vector, and std::list, providing a simple and easy-to-use interface for working with stacks. You can push elements onto the top of the stack, pop elements from the top, and access the top element without accessing elements at other positions. std::stack is commonly used for tasks that require a stack-like behavior, such as tracking function call sequences, parsing expressions, and managing temporary data. It provides a convenient way to manage data to ensure the most recently added element is the first to be removed.

Purpose and suitability

std::stack is a container adapter that’s designed to provide a LIFO data structure. It operates on top of another container, such as std::vector, std::deque, or std::list.

It’s particularly suitable...
