A phonetic script for English created in 1847 by Isaac Pitman and Henry Ellis was used as a model for the IPA.
The Stack Data Structure in C and C++. The stack is a common data structure for representing things that need to maintained in a particular order. For instance, when a function calls another function, which in turn calls a third function, it's important that the third function return back to the second function rather than the first.
Stack is a last-in, first-out (LIFO) data structure. i.e. the element added last to the stack will be the one to be removed first. Typical use cases of stacks include:- (1) During debugging it is quite common to examine the function call stack during panics. (2) In RTOS like Symbian there are concepts like cleanup stack to avoid memory leaks. Some of the common terminology associated with stacks include PUSH, POP and TOP of the stack.
