Define stack.discuss push and pop operation?
A stack is a region of memory that you store things, and retrieve them in the reverse order of storage. Think of it as a stack of papers. You write something down on a piece of paper, and then you put that paper in a stack, specifically on the top of the stack. This is called a push operation. If you want to go and do something else, such as service an interrupt or call another function, you create more pieces of paper and you push them onto the top of the stack as well. Under normal conditions, you cannot access anything on the stack below the top. I say "normal" because the architecture of the processor allows you to access chunks of memory contained within the stack, relative to the base pointer BP, allowing you to pass arguments and store temporary variables in what is called a stack frame. The reverse of push is called pop, and it is equivalent to taking a piece of paper off of the top of the stack and throwing it away - or using it, whatever you want - but that action exposes the next piece of paper, which is now the new "top of stack".
What is wrong if the sink and the bathtub will drain but the toilet wont flush?
The toilet itself is plugged or the pipe from the toilet to the drain is plugged. It may be that the tub and sink have their own drain pipe that may connect to the main away from the toilet drain. Plunge the toilet or sometimes if you fill a 5 gallon bucket with water and pour it into the toilet as fast as it will take it, that will flush out the line. It is a greater amount of water all at once an forces out what the clog is.

The drain pipe is cracked or broken at some point under the slab and where it is coming out is the first crack in the cement it found. The break may be in the general area where it is coming out or a ways away from it. There is no real way of telling without running a camera down the drain and possible seeing the break.

What would cause rotten food smell in kitchen drains?
Hydrogen sulfide, a very dangerous gas, is produced in sewers from bacterial action. That gas can travel back up through a drain that is not equipped with an effective trap. The sink's trap blocks the path with a U-shaped loop of pipe that remains filled with water.The water can be siphoned out of the trap if the plumbing is not properly vented. If you flush the toilet and you hear a slurping sound in the sink or, if you drain the sink and you hear a slurp at the end, it is time to call a plumber to inspect your pipes and and remove whatever debris might be blocking the vent stack. Birds will sometimes try building nests in them.The water in the trap can dry out if the drain has not been used for a very long time. If you are going to leave a house unoccupied for months at a time, a tablespoon or two of vegetable oil down all the drains will slow evaporation. If there is a chance of the pipes freezing, a bit of automotive or RV antifreeze will not only keep the traps from drying out but it will also keep the drain pipes from bursting. Use about a half-cup in a kitchen sink, a quarter-cup in a bathroom sink or bath tub or shower and a cup in a toilet.
