Stack
 An ordered collection of homogeneous data
elements where the insertions and deletions
take place at one end only called Top
 New elements are added
or pushed onto the top of
the stack
 The first element to be
removed or popped is
taken from the top - the
last one in

7
Stack Operations
 A stack is generally implemented with only two
principle operations
 Push adds an item to a stack
 Pop extracts the most recently pushed item from the
stack
 Other methods such as
 Top returns the item at the top without removing it
 Isempty() determines whether the stack has anything in
it or not.

8
Common Stack Operations
1. TOP(S): Return the element at the top of stack S.
2. POP(S): Remove the top element of the stack.
3. PUSH(S): Insert the element x at the top of the
stack.
4. ISEMPTY(S): Return true if S is an empty stack;
return false otherwise.

11
Stack – Array Implementation
 First Implementation
 Elements are stored in contiguous cells of an array.
 New elements can be inserted to the top of the list

Pop – Array Implementation
pop( Stack[])
{
if (top == –1)
cout<<“stack is empty”;
else
return Stack[top--];
}

16
Other Stack Operations
//returns the top element of stack without removing it
int top (Stack[]) {
if (top == –1)
cout<<“stack is empty”;
else
return Stack[top];}
int isEmpty() { //checks stack is empty or not
if (top == –1)
return 1;
else
return 0; }

17
Select position 0 as top of the stack
 Model with an array
 Let position 0 be top of stack
 Problem consider pushing and popping
 Requires much shifting

18
 Since, in a stack the insertion and deletion take
place only at the top, so…
 A better Implementation:
 Anchor the bottom of the stack at the bottom of
the array
 Let the stack grow towards the top of the array
 Top indicates the current position of the first
stack element

19
 A better Implementation:
First Element
Last Element

20
Select position 0 as bottom of the Stack
 A better approach is to let position 0 be the bottom of the
stack
 Thus our design will include
 An array to hold the stack elements
 An integer to indicate the top of the stack

21
Stack – Linked Representation
 PUSH and POP operate only on the header
cell and the first cell on the list
struct Node{
int data;
Node* next;
} *top;
top = NULL;

Push operation - Algorithm
void push (int item) {
Node *newNode;
// Insert at Front of the list
newNode->data = item;
newNode->next = top;
top = newNode;
}

24
Pop Operation - Algorithm
int pop () {
Node *temp; int val;
if (top == NULL)
return -1;
else { // delete the first node of the list
temp = top;
top = top->next;
val = temp->data;
delete temp;
return val;
}
}

Algorithm in Practice
 list[i] = 3 * ( 44 - method( foo( list[ 2 * (i + 1) +
foo( list[i - 1] ) ) / 2 *) - list[ method(list[0])];
 Processing a file
 Tokenization: the process of scanning an input
stream. Each independent chunk is a token.
 Tokens may be made up of 1 or more
characters

Mathematical Calculations
What is 3 + 2 * 4? 2 * 4 + 3? 3 * 2 + 4?
The precedence of operators affects the
order of operations
A mathematical expression cannot simply be
evaluated left to right.
A challenge when evaluating a program.
Lexical analysis is the process of
interpreting a program. Involves
Tokenization
What about 1 - 2 - 4 ^ 5 * 3 * 6 / 7 ^ 2 ^ 2

33
Mathematical Expression Notation
 The way we are used to writing expressions is
known as infix notation
 Postfix expression does not require any
precedence rules
 3 2 * 1 + is postfix of 3 * 2 + 1

34
Operator Precedence and Associativity
 Order includes
Power, square
roots
 Operator

Evaluating Prefix (Polish Notation)

37
Evaluating Prefix Notation
 Algorithm

38
Prefix Notation Stack Example

39
Converting Infix to Postfix Notation
The first thing you need to do is fully parenthesize the
expression.
So, the expression (3 + 6) * (2 - 4) + 7
Becomes (((3 + 6) * (2 - 4)) + 7).
Now, move each of the operators immediately to the
right of their respective right parentheses. If you do
this, you will see that
(((3 + 6) * (2 - 4)) + 7) becomes 3 6 + 2 4 - * 7 +

40
Implementing Postfix Through Stack
 Read in one symbol at a time from the postfix expression.
 Any time you see an operand, push it onto the stack
 Any time you see a binary operator (+, -, *, /) or unary
(square root, negative sign) operator
 If the operator is binary, pop two elements off of the stack.
 If the operator is unary, pop one element off the stack.
 Evaluate those operands with that operator
 Push the result back onto the stack.
 When you're done with the entire expression, the only
thing left on the stack should be the final result
 If there are zero or more than 1 operands left on the stack, either
your program is flawed, or the expression was invalid
 The first element you pop off of the stack in an operation
should be evaluated on the right-hand side of the operator
 For multiplication and addition, order doesn't matter, but for
subtraction and division, the answer will be incorrect if the
operands are switched around. 40

43
Implementing Infix Through Stacks
 Implementing infix notation with stacks is
substantially more difficult
 3 stacks are needed :
 one for the parentheses
 one for the operands, and
 one for the operators.
 Fully parenthesize the infix expression before
attempting to evaluate it

44
Implementing Infix Through Stack
 To evaluate an expression in infix notation:
 Keep pushing elements onto their respective
stacks until a closed parenthesis is reached
 When a closed parenthesis is encountered
 Pop an operator off the operator stack
 Pop the appropriate number of operands off the
operand stack to perform the operation
 Once again, push the result back onto the
operand stack

Application of Stacks
 Direct applications
 Page-visited history in a Web browser
 Undo sequence in a text editor
 Chain of method calls in the Java Virtual Machine
 Validate XML
 Indirect applications
 Auxiliary data structure for algorithms
 Component of other data structures
