This document discusses stacks and queues, which are linear data structures. Stacks follow LIFO (last in, first out) and use push and pop operations. Queues follow FIFO (first in, first out) and use insertion at the rear and deletion at the front. Real-world examples of stacks include discs in a holder and tokens in a stack. Real-world examples of queues include lines at counters. Stacks and queues have various applications like reversing strings, expression evaluation, job scheduling, and memory/process management in operating systems.
