The document discusses stacks and queues as data structures. Stacks follow LIFO (Last In First Out) and involve push and pop operations on an array or linked list. Queues follow FIFO (First In First Out) and involve insert and delete operations, with insertion at the rear and deletion at the front. The document provides examples of implementing stacks and queues using arrays and linked lists, and describes the basic operations like creation, insertion, deletion, checking for empty/full.
