LIFO stands for Last In First Out. It basically means that the most recent piece of data added to a list, will be the first piece that is taken off. It is often compared to a stack of plates. When you have a plate to add to the the stack, you put it on the top, not in the middle or at the bottom of the stack. If you need a plate you usually take it from the top, not the middle or bottom. So the most recent plate on the top is the first that will be taken off when one is needed.
LIFO stands for Last In First Out. Ex: Stack
It isn't! A queue is a FIFO structure, not a LIFO structure. FIFO is an acronym for First-In, First-Out and is analogous with first come, first served (as per a queue of people waiting to be served). LIFO is an acronym for Last-In, First-Out, which is analogous with a stack structure, where the last element added is always placed on top of the stack while the top-most element of the stack is always the first to be removed from the stack.
No. A stack is a LIFO (Last In First Out) data structure.A queue is a FIFO (First In First Out) data structure.
LIFO and stack are synonyms, so are FIFO and queue.
Push and pop are properties of a stack (also called a LIFO-- Last In, First Out-- queue).
In a queue, elements are placed in line; the first to get into the queue is the first to get out (FIFO - first in, first out).A stack is also a structure to store pieces of data, or objects, but the last element to get in will be the first element to get out (LIFO).In a queue, elements are placed in line; the first to get into the queue is the first to get out (FIFO - first in, first out).A stack is also a structure to store pieces of data, or objects, but the last element to get in will be the first element to get out (LIFO).In a queue, elements are placed in line; the first to get into the queue is the first to get out (FIFO - first in, first out).A stack is also a structure to store pieces of data, or objects, but the last element to get in will be the first element to get out (LIFO).In a queue, elements are placed in line; the first to get into the queue is the first to get out (FIFO - first in, first out).A stack is also a structure to store pieces of data, or objects, but the last element to get in will be the first element to get out (LIFO).
A stack is a linear data structure that follows the Last In, First Out (LIFO) principle, where elements are added and removed from the same end called the top. Elements can only be added or removed from the top of the stack, making it a simple and efficient data structure for storing and accessing data.
True, unless you start messing about with the stack pointer.
The stack is a region of memory organized as a first-in-last-out (LIFO) structure which stores return information, parameters, and local variables. Since it is a LIFO structure, it is nested, i.e. "stacked", similar to how a stack of papers on your desk would be stacked, and if you could only deal with the top-most paper on the stack. At the language level, C, C++, JAVA, etc., you generally do not even think about the implementation of the stack - it is just there - and it does what it needs in terms of return state, registers, parameters, and automatic or temporary variables.
A FIFO, or First In First Out is a queue.A stack is a LIFO or Last In First Out.
A stack is a data structure in which last item inserted is taken out first . That's why they are known as LIFO (last in first out). Inserting an item in stack is termed as push and taking an item out from stack I s termed as pop. Stack pointer is the pointer that points to the top of the stack or that points the item at the top of the stack and help in adding or deleting the item from the top of stack.
