A '''stack''' is a container of elements with last in, first out access policy. Sometimes it also called '''LIFO'''.

The stack is accessed through its '''top'''.

The basic stack operations are:

  • ''push'' stores a new element onto the stack top;
  • ''pop'' returns the last pushed stack element, while removing it from the stack;
  • ''empty'' tests if the stack contains no elements.

Sometimes the last pushed stack element is made accessible for immutable access (for read) or mutable access (for write):

  • ''top'' (sometimes called ''peek'' to keep with the ''p'' theme) returns the topmost element without modifying the stack.

Stacks allow a very simple hardware implementation.

They are common in almost all processors.

In programming, stacks are also very popular for their way ('''LIFO''') of resource management, usually memory.

Nested scopes of language objects are naturally implemented by a stack (sometimes by multiple stacks).

This is a classical way to implement local variables of a re-entrant or recursive subprogram. Stacks are also used to describe a formal computational framework.

See [[wp:Stack_automaton|stack machine]].

Many algorithms in pattern matching, compiler construction (e.g. [[wp:Recursive_descent|recursive descent parsers]]), and machine learning (e.g. based on [[wp:Tree_traversal|tree traversal]]) have a natural representation in terms of stacks.

;Task: Create a stack supporting the basic operations: push, pop, empty.

In ActionScript an Array object provides stack functionality.

var stack:Array = new Array();
stack.push(1);
stack.push(2);

This implementation uses an environment variable naming convention to implement a stack as a pseudo object containing a pseudo dynamic array and top attribute, as well as an empty "method" that is a sort of macro. The implementation depends on delayed expansion being enabled at the time of each call to a stack function. More complex variations can be written that remove this limitation.

beeswax

Beeswax is a stack-based language. The instruction pointers (bees) carry small local stacks (lstacks) of fixed length 3 that can interact with the global stack (gstack) of unrestricted length. The local stacks do not behave exactly like the stack specified in this task, but the global stack does.

'''Push (1)''': f pushes the topmost value of lstack on gstack.

     instruction: _f

     gstack:      UInt64[0]•         (at the beginning of a program lstack is initialized to [0 0 0]

'''Push (2)''': e pushes all three lstack values on gstack, in reversed order.

     instruction: _e

     gstack:      UInt64[0 0 0]•         (at the beginning of a program lstack is initialized to [0 0 0]

'''Push (3)''': i pushes an integer from STDIN as UInt64 value on gstack.

     instruction: _i
     input:       i123

     gstack:      UInt64[123]•

'''Push (4)''': c pushes the Unicode codepoint value of a character from STDIN as UInt64 value on gstack.

     instruction: _c
     input:       cH

     gstack:      UInt64[72]•

'''Push (5)''': V pushes the Unicode codepoint values of the characters of a string given at STDIN as UInt64 values on gstack, last character, followed by newline on top.

     instruction: _V
     input:       sHello, α∀

     gstack:      UInt64[72 101 108 108 111 44 32 945 8704 10]•

'''Pop''': g{? reads the top value of gstack and stores it on top of lstack. Then outputs top value of lstack to STDOUT and finally pops gstack.

'''Empty''': Ag?';gstack is empty pushes length of gstack on gstack, reads top value of gstack, stores it as top value of lstack and prints gstack is empty if lstack top=0.

'''Top''': g{ reads the top value of gstack, stores it on top of lstack. Then outputs top value of lstack to STDOUT. If gstack is empty, this instruction does not do anything but return the topmost value of lstack.

To make sure that there is any value on gstack, you would need to check for gstack length first, using the method shown in the “'''Empty'''” example above:

*Ag'{`gstack empty, no value to return`

This method returns the top value of gstack only if gstack is not empty, otherwise it outputs gstack empty, no value to return to STDOUT.

A stack is easiest implemented as a dotted list top.top-1.top-2.[...].. In the example below we also introduce a 'class' stack, instantiated in the 'object' Stack. The class has a member variable S and methods push,pop, top and empty. As a side note, . is to .. as C's . is to ->. In a method's body, its refers to the object itself. (Analogous to (*this) in C++.)

( ( stack
  =   (S=)
      (push=.(!arg.!(its.S)):?(its.S))
      ( pop
      = top.!(its.S):(%?top.?(its.S))&!top
      )
      (top=top.!(its.S):(%?top.?)&!top)
      (empty=.!(its.S):)

C++

{{libheader|STL}} The C++ standard library already provides a ready-made stack class. You get it by writing

#include <stack>

and then using the std::stack class.

An example of an explicit implementation of a stack class (which actually implements the standard stack class, except that the standard one is in namespace std):

#include <deque>

template <class T, class Sequence = std::deque<T> >
class stack {
  friend bool operator== (const stack&, const stack&);
  friend bool operator<  (const stack&, const stack&);
public:
  typedef typename Sequence::value_type      value_type;
  typedef typename Sequence::size_type       size_type;
  typedef          Sequence                  container_type;
  typedef typename Sequence::reference       reference;
  typedef typename Sequence::const_reference const_reference;
protected:
  Sequence seq;
public:
  stack() : seq() {}
  explicit stack(const Sequence& s0) : seq(s0) {}
  bool empty() const { return seq.empty(); }
  size_type size() const { return seq.size(); }
  reference top() { return seq.back(); }
  const_reference top() const { return seq.back(); }
  void push(const value_type& x) { seq.push_back(x); }
  void pop() { seq.pop_back(); }
};

template <class T, class Sequence>
bool operator==(const stack<T,Sequence>& x, const stack<T,Sequence>& y)
{
  return x.seq == y.seq;
}
template <class T, class Sequence>
bool operator<(const stack<T,Sequence>& x, const stack<T,Sequence>& y)
{
  return x.seq < y.seq;
}

template <class T, class Sequence>
bool operator!=(const stack<T,Sequence>& x, const stack<T,Sequence>& y)

== {{header|Clojure}} == As is mentioned in the Common Lisp example below, built in cons-based lists work just fine. In this implementation, the list is wrapped in a datatype, providing a stateful solution.

(deftype Stack [elements])

(def stack (Stack (ref ())))

(defn push-stack
  "Pushes an item to the top of the stack."
  [x] (dosync (alter (:elements stack) conj x)))

(defn pop-stack
  "Pops an item from the top of the stack."
  [] (let [fst (first (deref (:elements stack)))]
       (dosync (alter (:elements stack) rest)) fst))

(defn top-stack
  "Shows what's on the top of the stack."
  [] (first (deref (:elements stack))))

(defn empty-stack?
  "Tests whether or not the stack is empty."
  [] (= () (deref (:elements stack))))

We can make this a bit smaller and general by using defprotocol along with deftype. Here is a revised version using defprotocol.

(defprotocol StackOps
  (push-stack [this x] "Pushes an item to the top of the stack.")
  (pop-stack [this] "Pops an item from the top of the stack.")
  (top-stack [this] "Shows what's on the top of the stack.")
  (empty-stack? [this] "Tests whether or not the stack is empty."))

   (push-stack [x] (dosync (alter elements conj x)))
   (pop-stack [] (let [fst (first (deref elements))]

== {{header|Common Lisp}} == It's a bit unusual to write a wrapper for a stack in Common Lisp; built-in cons-based lists work just fine. Nonetheless, here's an implementation where the list is wrapped in a structure, providing a stateful solution.

(defstruct stack

(defun stack-push (element stack)
  (push element (stack-elements stack)))

(defun stack-pop (stack)(deftype Stack [elements])

(defun stack-empty (stack)
  (endp (stack-elements stack)))

(defun stack-top (stack)
  (first (stack-elements stack)))

(defun stack-peek (stack)
  (stack-top stack))

The standard FlexList data structure provides operations for use as a stack.

? def l := [].diverge()
# value: [].diverge()

? l.push(1)
? l.push(2)
? l
# value: [1, 2].diverge()

? l.pop()
# value: 2

? l.size().aboveZero()
# value: true

? l.last()
# value: 1

? l.pop()
# value: 1

? l.size().aboveZero()
# value: false

Here's a stack implemented out of a reference to a linked list:

def makeStack() {
    var store := null
    def stack {
        to push(x) { store := [x, store] }
        to pop() { def [x, next] := store; store := next; return x }
        to last() { return store[0] }
        to empty() { return (store == null) }
    }
    return stack
}

? def s := makeStack()
# value: <stack>

? s.push(1)
? s.push(2)
? s.last()
# value: 2

? s.pop()
# value: 2

? s.empty()
# value: false

? s.pop()
# value: 1

? s.empty()
# value: true

EchoLisp

Named stacks are native objects. The following demonstrates the available operations :


; build stack [0 1 ... 9 (top)] from a list
(list->stack (iota 10) 'my-stack)
(stack-top 'my-stack) → 9
(pop 'my-stack)  → 9
(stack-top 'my-stack) → 8
(push 'my-stack '🐸) ; any kind of lisp object in the stack
(stack-empty? 'my-stack) → #f
(stack->list 'my-stack) ; convert stack to list
    → (0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 🐸)
(stack-swap 'my-stack) ; swaps two last items
    → 8 ; new top
(stack->list 'my-stack)
     → (0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 🐸 8) ; swapped
(while (not (stack-empty? 'my-stack)) (pop 'my-stack)) ; pop until empty
(stack-empty? 'my-stack)  → #t ; true

(push 'my-stack 7)
my-stack ; a stack is not a variable, nor a symbol - cannot be evaluated
   ⛔ error: #|user| : unbound variable : my-stack

Elisa

This is a generic Stack component based on arrays. See how in Elisa [http://jklunder.home.xs4all.nl/elisa/part01/doc120.html generic components] are defined.

 component GenericStack ( Stack, Element );
 type Stack;
      Stack (MaxSize = integer) -> Stack;
      Empty ( Stack )           -> boolean;
      Full ( Stack )            -> boolean;
      Push ( Stack, Element)    -> nothing;
      Pull ( Stack )            -> Element;
begin
      Stack(MaxSize) =
             Stack:[ MaxSize; index:=0; area=array (Element, MaxSize) ];
      Empty( stack ) = (stack.index <= 0);
      Full ( stack ) = (stack.index >= stack.MaxSize);
      Push ( stack, element ) =
                   [ exception (Full (stack), "Stack Overflow");
                     stack.index:=stack.index + 1;
                     stack.area[stack.index]:=element ];
      Pull ( stack ) =
                   [ exception (Empty (stack), "Stack Underflow");
                     stack.index:=stack.index - 1;
                     stack.area[stack.index + 1] ];
end component GenericStack;

Another example of a generic Stack component is based on an unlimited sequence. A sequence is a uni-directional list. See how Elisa defines [http://jklunder.home.xs4all.nl/elisa/part02/doc010.html sequences]. The component has the same interface as the array based version.

component GenericStack ( Stack, ElementType );
 type Stack;
      Stack(MaxSize = integer)  -> Stack;
      Empty( Stack )            -> boolean;
      Full ( Stack )            -> boolean;
      Push ( Stack, ElementType)-> nothing;
      Pull ( Stack )            -> ElementType;
begin
      type sequence = term;
      ElementType & sequence => sequence;
      nil = null (sequence);

      head (sequence) -> ElementType;
      head (X & Y) = ElementType:X;

      tail (sequence) -> sequence;
      tail (X & Y) = Y;

      Stack (Size) = Stack:[ list = nil ];
      Empty ( stack ) = (stack.list == nil);
      Full ( stack ) = false;
      Push ( stack, ElementType ) = [ stack.list:= ElementType & stack.list ];
      Pull ( stack ) = [ exception (Empty (stack), "Stack Underflow");
                         Head = head(stack.list); stack.list:=tail(stack.list); Head];
end component GenericStack;

Both versions give the same answers to the following tests:

use GenericStack (StackofBooks, Book);
type Book = text;
BookStack = StackofBooks(50);

Push (BookStack, "Peter Pan");
Push (BookStack, "Alice in Wonderland");

Pull (BookStack)?
"Alice in Wonderland"

Pull (BookStack)?
"Peter Pan"

Pull (BookStack)?
***** Exception: Stack Underflow

Elixir

{{trans|Erlang}}

defmodule Stack do
  def new, do: []

  def empty?([]), do: true
  def empty?(_), do: false

  def pop([h|t]), do: {h,t}

  def push(h,t), do: [h|t]

  def top([h|_]), do: h
end

Example:


iex(2)> stack = Stack.new
[]
iex(3)> Stack.empty?(stack)
true
iex(4)> newstack = List.foldl([1,2,3,4,5], stack, fn x,acc -> Stack.push(x,acc) end)
[5, 4, 3, 2, 1]
iex(5)> Stack.top(newstack)
5
iex(6)> {popped, poppedstack} = Stack.pop(newstack)
{5, [4, 3, 2, 1]}
iex(7)> Stack.empty?(newstack)
false

Erlang

Erlang has no built-in stack, but its lists behave basically the same way. A stack module can be implemented as a simple wrapper around lists:

-module(stack).
-export([empty/1, new/0, pop/1, push/2, top/1]).

new() -> [].

empty([]) -> true;
empty(_) -> false.

pop([H|T]) -> {H,T}.

push(H,T) -> [H|T].

top([H|_]) -> H.

Note that as Erlang doesn't have mutable data structure (destructive updates), pop returns the popped element and the new stack as a tuple.

The module is tested this way:

 c(stack).
{ok,stack}
2> Stack = stack:new().
[]
3> NewStack = lists:foldl(fun stack:push/2, Stack, [1,2,3,4,5]).
[5,4,3,2,1]
4> stack:top(NewStack).
5
5> {Popped, PoppedStack} = stack:pop(NewStack).
{5,[4,3,2,1]}
6> stack:empty(NewStack).
false
7> stack:empty(stack:new()).
true

=={{header|F_Sharp|F#}}== .NET provides a mutable stack type in System.Collections.Generic.Stack.

A list-based immutable stack type could be implemented like this:

type Stack<'a> //'//(workaround for syntax highlighting problem)
  (?items) =
  let items = defaultArg items []

  member x.Push(A) = Stack(A::items)

  member x.Pop() =
    match items with
      | x::xr ->  (x, Stack(xr))
      | [] -> failwith "Stack is empty."

  member x.IsEmpty() = items = []

// example usage
let anEmptyStack = Stack<int>()
let stack2 = anEmptyStack.Push(42)
printfn "%A" (stack2.IsEmpty())
let (x, stack3) = stack2.Pop()
printfn "%d" x
printfn "%A" (stack3.IsEmpty())

Factor

Factor is a stack based language, but also provides stack "objects", because all resizable sequences can be treated as stacks (see [http://docs.factorcode.org/content/article-sequences-stacks.html docs]). Typically, a vector is used:

 V{ 1 2 3 } {
 [ 6 swap push ]
 [ "hi" swap push ]
 [ "Vector is now: " write . ]
 [ "Let's pop it: " write pop . ]
 [ "Vector is now: " write . ]
 [ "Top is: " write last . ] } cleave

 Vector is now: V{ 1 2 3 6 "hi" }
 Let's pop it: "hi"
 Vector is now: V{ 1 2 3 6 }
 Top is: 6

Forth

: stack ( size -- )
  create here cell+ ,  cells allot ;

: push ( n st -- ) tuck @ !  cell swap +! ;
: pop ( st -- n ) -cell over +!  @ @ ;
: empty? ( st -- ? ) dup @ - cell+ 0= ;

Go

Go slices make excellent stacks without defining any extra types, functions, or methods. For example, to keep a stack of integers, simply declare one as,

var intStack []int

Use the built in append function to push numbers on the stack:

intStack = append(intStack, 7)

Use a slice expression with the built in len function to pop from the stack:

popped, intStack = intStack[len(intStack)-1], intStack[:len(intStack)-1]

The test for an empty stack:

len(intStack) == 0

And to peek at the top of the stack:

intStack[len(intStack)-1]

It is idiomatic Go to use primitive language features where they are sufficient, and define helper functions or types and methods only as they make sense for a particular situation. Below is an example using a type with methods and idiomatic "ok" return values to avoid panics. It is only an example of something that might make sense in some situation.

package main

import "fmt"

type stack []interface{}

func (k *stack) push(s interface{}) {
    *k = append(*k, s)
}

func (k *stack) pop() (s interface{}, ok bool) {
    if k.empty() {
        return
    }
    last := len(*k) - 1
    s = (*k)[last]
    *k = (*k)[:last]
    return s, true
}

func (k *stack) peek() (s interface{}, ok bool) {
    if k.empty() {
        return
    }
    last := len(*k) - 1
    s = (*k)[last]
    return s, true
}

func (k *stack) empty() bool {
    return len(*k) == 0
}

func main() {
    var s stack
    fmt.Println("new stack:", s)
    fmt.Println("empty?", s.empty())
    s.push(3)
    fmt.Println("push 3. stack:", s)
    fmt.Println("empty?", s.empty())
    s.push("four")
    fmt.Println(`push "four" stack:`, s)
    if top, ok := s.peek(); ok {
        fmt.Println("top value:", top)
    } else {
        fmt.Println("nothing on stack")
    }
    if popped, ok := s.pop(); ok {
        fmt.Println(popped, "popped.  stack:", s)
    } else {
        fmt.Println("nothing to pop")
    }

Groovy

In Groovy, all lists have stack semantics, including "push()" and "pop()" methods, an "empty" property, and a "last()" method as a stand-in for "top/peek" semantics. Calling "pop()" on an empty list throws an exception.

Of course, these stack semantics are not ''exclusive''. Elements of the list can still be accessed and manipulated in myriads of other ways.

def stack = []
assert stack.empty

stack.push(55)
stack.push(21)
stack.push('kittens')
assert stack.last() == 'kittens'
assert stack.size() == 3
assert ! stack.empty

println stack

assert stack.pop() == "kittens"
assert stack.size() == 2

println stack

stack.push(-20)

println stack

stack.push( stack.pop() * stack.pop() )
assert stack.last() == -420
assert stack.size() == 2

println stack

stack.push(stack.pop() / stack.pop())
assert stack.size() == 1

println stack

println stack.pop()
assert stack.size() == 0
assert stack.empty

try { stack.pop() } catch (NoSuchElementException e) { println e.message }

Cannot pop() an empty List

Haskell

The Haskell solution is trivial, using a list. Note that pop returns both the element and the changed stack, to remain purely functional.

type Stack a = [a]

create :: Stack a
create = []

push :: a -> Stack a -> Stack a
push = (:)

pop :: Stack a -> (a, Stack a)
pop []     = error "Stack empty"
pop (x:xs) = (x,xs)

empty :: Stack a -> Bool
empty = null

peek :: Stack a -> a
peek []    = error "Stack empty"
peek (x:_) = x

We can make a stack that can be destructively popped by hiding the list inside a State monad.

import Control.Monad.State

type Stack a b = State [a] b

push :: a -> Stack a ()
push = modify . (:)

pop :: Stack a a
pop = do
    nonEmpty
    x <- peek
    modify tail
    return x

empty :: Stack a Bool
empty = gets null

peek :: Stack a a
peek = nonEmpty >> gets head

nonEmpty :: Stack a ()
nonEmpty = empty >>= flip when (fail "Stack empty")

=={{header|Icon}} and {{header|Unicon}}== Stacks (and double ended queues) are built into Icon and Unicon as part of normal list access. In addition to 'push' and 'pop', there are the functions 'put', 'get' (alias for pop), 'pull', list element addressing, and list sectioning (like sub-strings). Unicon extended 'insert' and 'delete' to work with lists. The programmer is free to use any or all of the list processing functions on any problem. The following illustrates typical stack usage:

procedure main()
stack := []                                     # new empty stack
push(stack,1)                                   # add item
push(stack,"hello",table(),set(),[],5)          # add more items of mixed types in order left to right
y := top(stack)                                 # peek
x := pop(stack)                                 # remove item
write("The stack is ",if isempty(stack) then "empty" else "not empty")
end

procedure isempty(x)           #: test if a datum is empty, return the datum or fail (task requirement)
if *x = 0 then return x        #  in practice just write *x = 0 or *x ~= 0 for is/isn't empty
end

procedure top(x)               #: return top element w/o changing stack
return x[1]                    #  in practice, just use x[1]
end

Io

aside from using built-in lists, a stack can be created using nodes like so:

Node := Object clone do(
    next := nil
    obj := nil
)

Stack := Object clone do(
    node := nil

    pop := method(
        obj := node obj
        node = node next
        obj
    )

    push := method(obj,
        nn := Node clone
        nn obj = obj
        nn next = self node
        self node = nn
    )
)

Ioke

Stack = Origin mimic do(
  initialize = method(@elements = [])
  pop = method(@elements pop!)
  empty = method(@elements empty?)
  push = method(element, @elements push!(element))
)

stack=: ''
push=: monad def '0$stack=:stack,y'
pop=: monad def 'r[ stack=:}:stack[ r=.{:stack'
empty=: monad def '0=#stack'

Example use:

   push 9

   pop ''
9
   empty ''
1

pop and empty ignore their arguments. In this implementation. push returns an empty list.

Java

The collections framework includes a Stack class. Let's test it:

import java.util.Stack;

public class StackTest {
    public static void main( final String[] args ) {
        final Stack<String> stack = new Stack<String>();

        System.out.println( "New stack empty? " + stack.empty() );

        stack.push( "There can be only one" );
        System.out.println( "Pushed stack empty? " + stack.empty() );
        System.out.println( "Popped single entry: " + stack.pop() );

        stack.push( "First" );
        stack.push( "Second" );
        System.out.println( "Popped entry should be second: " + stack.pop() );

        // Popping an empty stack will throw...
        stack.pop();
        stack.pop();
    }
}

{{out}}

New stack empty? true
Pushed stack empty? false
Popped single entry: There can be only one
Popped entry should be second: Second
Exception in thread "main" java.util.EmptyStackException
	at java.util.Stack.peek(Stack.java:85)
	at java.util.Stack.pop(Stack.java:67)
	at StackTest.main(StackTest.java:21)

Alternatively, you might implement a stack yourself...

public class Stack{
    private Node first = null;
    public boolean isEmpty(){
        return first == null;
    }
    public Object Pop(){
        if(isEmpty())
            throw new Exception("Can't Pop from an empty Stack.");
        else{
            Object temp = first.value;
            first = first.next;
            return temp;
        }
    }
    public void Push(Object o){
        first = new Node(o, first);
    }
    class Node{
        public Node next;
        public Object value;
        public Node(Object value){
            this(value, null);
        }
        public Node(Object value, Node next){
            this.next = next;
            this.value = value;
        }
    }
}

{{works with|Java|1.5}}

{
    private Node first = null;
    public boolean isEmpty(){
        return first == null;
    }
    public T Pop(){
        if(isEmpty())
            throw new Exception("Can't Pop from an empty Stack.");
        else{
            T temp = first.value;
            first = first.next;
            return temp;
        }
    }
    public void Push(T o){
        first = new Node(o, first);
    }
    class Node{
        public Node next;
        public T value;
        public Node(T value){
            this(value, null);
        }
        public Node(T value, Node next){

JavaScript

The built-in Array class already has stack primitives.

var stack = [];
stack.push(1)
stack.push(2,3);
print(stack.pop());   // 3
print(stack.length);   // 2, stack empty if 0

Here's a constructor that wraps the array:

function Stack() {
    this.data = new Array();

    this.push  = function(element) {this.data.push(element)}
    this.pop   = function() {return this.data.pop()}
    this.empty = function() {return this.data.length == 0}
    this.peek  = function() {return this.data[this.data.length - 1]}
}

Here's an example using the revealing module pattern instead of prototypes.


function makeStack() {
  var stack = [];

  var popStack = function () {
    return stack.pop();
  };
  var pushStack = function () {
    return stack.push.apply(stack, arguments);
  };
  var isEmpty = function () {
    return stack.length === 0;
  };
  var peekStack = function () {
    return stack[stack.length-1];
  };

  return {
    pop: popStack,
    push: pushStack,
    isEmpty: isEmpty,
    peek: peekStack,
    top: peekStack
  };
}

Jsish

From Javascript entry. Being ECMAScript, Jsi supports stack primitives as part of the Array methods.

/* Stack, is Jsish */
var stack = [];
puts('depth:', stack.length);

stack.push(42);
stack.push('abc');
puts('depth:', stack.length);

puts('popped:', stack.pop());
if (stack.length) printf('not '); printf('empty\n');
puts('top:', stack[stack.length-1]);
puts('popped:', stack.pop());
if (stack.length) printf('not '); printf('empty\n');

puts('depth:', stack.length);

Kotlin

Rather than use the java.util.Stack class, we will write our own simple Stack class for this task:

// version 1.1.2

class Stack<E> {
    private val data = mutableListOf<E>()

    val size get() = data.size

    val empty get() = size == 0

    fun push(element: E) = data.add(element)

    fun pop(): E {
        if (empty) throw RuntimeException("Can't pop elements from an empty stack")
        return data.removeAt(data.lastIndex)
    }

    val top: E
        get() {
            if (empty) throw RuntimeException("Empty stack can't have a top element")
            return data.last()
        }

    fun clear() = data.clear()

    override fun toString() = data.toString()
}

fun main(args: Array<String>) {
    val s = Stack<Int>()
    (1..5).forEach { s.push(it) }
    println(s)
    println("Size of stack = ${s.size}")
    print("Popping: ")
    (1..3).forEach { print("${s.pop()} ") }
    println("\nRemaining on stack: $s")
    println("Top element is now ${s.top}")
    s.clear()
    println("After clearing, stack is ${if(s.empty) "empty" else "not empty"}")
    try {
        s.pop()
    }
    catch (e: Exception) {
        println(e.message)
    }
}

[[UCB Logo]] has built-in methods for treating lists as stacks. Since they are destructive, they take the name of the stack rather than the list itself.

make "stack []
push "stack 1
push "stack 2
push "stack 3
print pop "stack   ; 3
print empty? :stack ; false

Logtalk

A stack can be trivially represented using the built-in representation for lists:


:- object(stack).

    :- public(push/3).
    push(Element, Stack, [Element| Stack]).

    :- public(pop/3).
    pop([Top| Stack], Top, Stack).

    :- public(empty/1)
    empty([]).

:- end_object.

Lua

Tables have stack primitives by default:

stack = {}
table.insert(stack,3)
print(table.remove(stack)) --> 3

M2000 Interpreter

A Stack object can be used as LIFO or FIFO. Push statement push to top of stack. Read pop a value to a variable from top of stack. StackItem(1) read top item without modified stack. Data statement append items to bottom.


Module Checkit {
      a=Stack
      Stack a {
            Push 100, 200, 300
      }
      Print StackItem(a, 1)=300
      Stack a {
            Print StackItem(1)=300
            While not empty {
                  Read N
                  Print N
            }
      }
}
Checkit

Every module and function has a "current" stack. Number is a read only variable, which pop a value from current stack (or raise error if not number is in top of stack).

User functions get a new stack, and drop it at return. Modules take parent stack, and return stack to parent. So a Module can return values too. In M2000 a call happen without checkig signatures (except for special events calls). We have to leave stack at a proper state, when return from a module. Return/Execution stack is hidden and different from stack of values.


Module Checkit {
      Read a, b
      Print a, b
}
\\ add parameters in a FIFO, and this FIFO merged to current stack
Push 100
Checkit 10, 20
Print StackItem(1)=100
Module Checkit {
      Read a, b
      Print a=20, b=100
}

=={{header|MATLAB}} / {{header|Octave}}== Here is a simple implementation of a stack, that works in Matlab and Octave. It is closely related to the queue/fifo example.

mystack = {};

% push
mystack{end+1} = x;

%pop
x = mystack{end};  mystack{end} = [];

%peek,top
x = mystack{end};

% empty
isempty(mystack)

Below is another solution, that encapsulates the fifo within the object-orientated "class" elements supported by Matlab. The given implementation is exactly the same as the MATLAB FIFO example, except that the "push()" function is modified to add stuff to the end of the queue instead of the beginning. This is a naive implementation, for rigorous applications this should be modified to initialize the LIFO to a buffered size, so that the "pop()" and "push()" functions don't resize the cell array that stores the LIFO's elements, every time they are called.

To use this implementation you must save this code in a MATLAB script file named "LIFOQueue.m" which must be saved in a folder named @LIFOQueue in your MATLAB directory.

%This class impliments a standard LIFO queue.
classdef LIFOQueue

    properties
        queue
    end

    methods

        %Class constructor
        function theQueue = LIFOQueue(varargin)

            if isempty(varargin) %No input arguments

                %Initialize the queue state as empty
                theQueue.queue = {};
            elseif (numel(varargin) > 1) %More than 1 input arg

                %Make the queue the list of input args
                theQueue.queue = varargin;
            elseif iscell(varargin{:}) %If the only input is a cell array

                %Make the contents of the cell array the elements in the queue
                theQueue.queue = varargin{:};
            else %There is one input argument that is not a cell

                theQueue.queue = varargin;
            end

        end

        %push() - pushes a new element to the end of the queue
        function push(theQueue,varargin)

            if isempty(varargin)
                theQueue.queue(end+1) = {[]};
            elseif (numel(varargin) > 1) %More than 1 input arg

                %Make the queue the list of input args
                theQueue.queue( end+1:end+numel(varargin) ) = varargin;
            elseif iscell(varargin{:}) %If the only input is a cell array

                theQueue.queue{end+1} = varargin{:};
            end

            %Makes changes to the queue permanent
            assignin('caller',inputname(1),theQueue);

        end

        %pop() - pops the first element off the queue
        function element = pop(theQueue)

            if empty(theQueue)
                error 'The queue is empty'
            else
                %Returns the first element in the queue
                element = theQueue.queue{end};

        end

        %empty() - Returns true if the queue is empty
        function trueFalse = empty(theQueue)

            trueFalse = isempty(theQueue.queue);

Mercury

Efficient, generic stacks are provided as part of the standard library in Mercury. For sake of illustration, here is how a simple stack could be implemented.

:- module sstack.

:- interface.

% We're going to call the type sstack (simple stack) because we don't want to get it
% accidentally confused with the official stack module in the standard library.
:- type sstack(T).

:- func sstack.new = sstack(T).
:- pred sstack.is_empty(sstack(T)::in) is semidet.
:- func sstack.push(sstack(T), T) = sstack(T).
:- pred sstack.pop(T::out, sstack(T)::in, sstack(T)::out) is semidet.

:- implementation.

:- import_module list.

:- type sstack(T)
   --->  sstack(list(T)).

sstack.new = sstack([]).

sstack.is_empty(sstack([])).

sstack.push(Stack0, Elem) = Stack1 :-
   Stack0 = sstack(Elems),
   Stack1 = sstack([Elem | Elems]).

sstack.pop(Elem, !Stack) :-
   !.Stack = sstack([Elem | Elems]),
   !:Stack = sstack(Elems).

:- end_module sstack.

It should be noted that this is purely an illustrative example of a very simple stack. A real implementation would have predicate (:- pred) versions of the functions (:- func), for example, for consistency's sake with either the functions implemented in terms of the predicates or vice versa. [http://www.mercurylang.org/information/doc-release/mercury_library/stack.html#stack The real library implementation] also features more functionality including both semi-deterministic and deterministic versions of some functions/predicates as well as the ability to push a list of values in one operation.

Some of the implementation decisions above need an explanation. new/0 and push/2 were implemented as functions both for pedagogical reasons (a desire to show function syntax) and because they are a natural fit for functional thought: 0 or more inputs, one output, deterministic. is_empty/1 was implemented as a predicate because it's a single, simple succeed/fail test which is precisely what a predicate is in logic. pop/3 was implemented as a predicate because it has two outputs (the element and the new stack) ''and'' because it is semi-deterministic (it will fail if the stack is empty).

Note also that while pop/3 has three parameters, the function implementation looks like it has two. This is because the !Stack "parameter" is actually a ''pair'' of parameters using Mercury's state variable notation. !Stack is, in effect, two variables: !.Stack and !:Stack, input and output respectively. Using state variable notation here is a bit of overkill but again was brought in for pedagogical reasons to show the syntax.

MiniScript

// Note in Miniscript, a value of zero is false,
// and any other number is true.
// therefore the .len function works as the inverse of a .empty function
stack = [2, 4, 6]
stack.push 8
print "Stack is " + stack
print "Adding '9' to stack " + stack.push(9)
print "Top of stack is " + stack.pop
print "Stack is " + stack
if stack.len then
    print "Stack is not empty"
else
    print "Stack is empty"
end if

{{out}}


Stack is [2, 4, 6, 8]
Adding '9' to stack [2, 4, 6, 8, 9]
Top of stack is 9

Stack is not empty

Nanoquery

class Stack
        declare $internalList

        // constructor
        def Stack()
                $internalList = list()
        end

        def push($val)
                append $internalList $val
        end

        def pop()
                $val = $internalList.get(int(len($internalList) - 1))
                $internalList.remove($val)

        end

        def empty()
                return len($internalList) = 0
        end
end

Nemerle

Mutable stacks are available in System.Collections, System.Collections.Generic and Nemerle.Collections depending on what functionality beyond the basics you want. An immutable stack could be implemented fairly easily, as, for example, this quick and dirty list based implementation.

public class Stack[T]
{
    private stack : list[T];

    public this()
    {
        stack = [];
    }

    public this(init : list[T])
    {
        stack = init;
    }

    public Push(item : T) : Stack[T]
    {
        Stack(item::stack)
    }

    public Pop() : T * Stack[T]
    {
        (stack.Head, Stack(stack.Tail))
    }

    public Peek() : T
    {
        stack.Head
    }

    public IsEmpty() : bool
    {
        stack.Length == 0
    }
}

Oz

A thread-safe, list-based stack. Implemented as a module:

functor
export
   New
   Push
   Pop
   Empty
define
   fun {New}
      {NewCell nil}
   end

   proc {Push Stack Element}
      NewStack
      %% Use atomic swap for thread safety
      OldStack = Stack := NewStack
   in
      NewStack = Element|OldStack
   end

   proc {Pop Stack ?Result}
      NewStack
      %% Use atomic swap for thread safety
      OldStack = Stack := NewStack
   in
      Result|NewStack = OldStack
   end

   fun {Empty Stack}
      @Stack == nil
   end
end

There is also a stack implementation in the [http://www.mozart-oz.org/home/doc/mozart-stdlib/adt/stack.html standard library].

PARI/GP

push(x)=v=concat(v,[x]);;
pop()={
  if(#v,
    my(x=v[#v]);
    v=vecextract(v,1<<(#v-1)-1);
    x

  )
};
empty()=v==[];
peek()={
  if(#v,
    v[#v]

};

Pascal

This implements stacks of integers in standard Pascal (should work on all existing Pascal dialects).

{ tStack is the actual stack type, tStackNode a helper type }
type
  pStackNode = ^tStackNode;
  tStackNode = record
                next: pStackNode;
                data: integer;
               end;
  tStack = record
            top: pStackNode;
           end;

{ Always call InitStack before using a stack }
procedure InitStack(var stack: tStack);
 begin
  stack.top := nil
 end;

{ This function removes all content from a stack; call before disposing, or before a local stack variable goes out of scope }
procedure ClearStack(var stack: tStack);
 var
  node: pStackNode;
 begin
  while stack.top <> nil do
   begin
    node := stack.top;
    stack.top := stack.top^.next;
    dispose(node);
   end
 end;

function StackIsEmpty(stack: tStack):Boolean;
 begin
  StackIsEmpty := stack.top = nil
 end;

procedure PushToStack(var stack: tStack; value: integer);
 var
  node: pStackNode;
 begin
  new(node);
  node^.next := stack.top;
  node^.data := value;
  stack.top := node
 end;

{ may only be called on a non-empty stack! }
function PopFromStack(var stack: tStack): integer;
 var
  node: pStackNode;
 begin
  node := stack.top;
  stack.top := node^.next;
  PopFromStack := node^.data;
  dispose(node);
 end;

Perl

Perl comes prepared to treat its arrays as stacks, giving us the push and pop functions for free. To add empty, we basically give a new name to "not":

sub empty{ not @_ }

Perl 6

Perl 6 still has the stack functions from Perl 5, but now they also can be accessed by object notation:

my @stack;          # just a array
@stack.push($elem); # add $elem to the end of @stack
$elem = @stack.pop; # get the last element back
@stack.elems == 0   # true, because the stack is empty
not @stack          # also true because @stack is false

Phix

I felt it would be helpful to contrast simple, naieve and proper implementations.

v1: simple, but limited to a single stack

sequence stack = {}

procedure push(object what)
    stack = append(stack,what)
end procedure

function pop()
    object what = stack[$]
    stack = stack[1..$-1]
    return what
end function

function empty()

?pop()                  -- 5
?empty()                -- 1

v2: naieve, multiple stacks but slightly awkward calling convention

function push(sequence stack, object what)
    stack = append(stack,what)
    return stack
end function

function pop(sequence stack)
    object what = stack[$]
    stack = stack[1..$-1]
    return {stack,what}
end function

function empty(sequence stack)
    return length(stack)=0
end function

sequence stack = {}
?empty(stack)               -- 1
stack = push(stack,5)
?empty(stack)               -- 0
stack = push(stack,6)
integer top
{stack,top} = pop(stack)
?top                        -- 6
{stack,top} = pop(stack)
?top                        -- 5
?empty(stack)               -- 1

v3: multiple stacks, better calling convention

sequence stacks = {}
integer freelist = 0

function new_stack()
integer res = freelist
    if res!=0 then
        freelist = stacks[freelist]
        stacks[res] = {}
    else
        stacks = append(stacks,{})
        res = length(stacks)
    end if
    return res
end function

procedure free_stack(integer sid)
    stacks[sid] = freelist
    freelist = sid
end procedure

procedure push(integer sid, object what)
    stacks[sid] = append(stacks[sid],what)
end procedure

function pop(integer sid)
    object res = stacks[sid][$]
    stacks[sid] = stacks[sid][1..$-1]
    return res
end function

function empty(integer sid)
    return length(stacks[sid])=0
end function

integer sid = new_stack()
?empty(sid)                 -- 1
push(sid,5)
?empty(sid)                 -- 0
push(sid,6)
?pop(sid)                   -- 6
?pop(sid)                   -- 5
?empty(sid)                 -- 1
free_stack(sid)

v1 and v2 are thread-safe as long as only one thread is using a particular stack. full thread-safety for v3 would require something similar to new_dict, see docs.

PHP

PHP arrays behave like a stack:

$stack = array();

empty( $stack ); // true

array_push( $stack, 1 ); // or $stack[] = 1;
array_push( $stack, 2 ); // or $stack[] = 2;

empty( $stack ); // false

echo array_pop( $stack ); // outputs "2"
echo array_pop( $stack ); // outputs "1"

PicoLisp

The built-in functions [http://software-lab.de/doc/refP.html#push push] and [http://software-lab.de/doc/refP.html#pop pop] are used to maintain a stack (of any type).

(push 'Stack 3)
(push 'Stack 2)
(push 'Stack 1)
: Stack
-> (1 2 3)

: (pop 'Stack)
-> 1

: Stack
-> (2 3)

: (set 'Stack)  # empty
-> NIL

: Stack
-> NIL

PL/I

/* Any controlled variable may behave as a stack. */

declare s float controlled;

/* to push a value on the stack. */
allocate s;
s = 10;

/* To pop a value from the stack. */
put (s);

/* to peek at the top of stack> */
put (s);

/* To see whether the stack is empty */
if allocation(s) = 0 then ...

/* Note: popping a value from the stack, or peeking,          */
/* would usually require a check that the stack is not empty. */

/* Note: The above is a simple stack for S. */
/* S can be any kind of data structure, an array, etc. */

/* Example to push ten values onto the stack, and then to */
/* remove them.                                           */

Prolog

Prolog is a particularly silly language to implement stack functions in, as the built-in lists can be treated as stacks in an ad hoc manner. Nonetheless, in the name of completeness:

% push( ELEMENT, STACK, NEW )
% True if NEW is [ELEMENT|STACK]
push(ELEMENT,STACK,[ELEMENT|STACK]).

% pop( STACK, TOP, NEW )
% True if TOP and NEW are head and tail, respectively, of STACK
pop([TOP|STACK],TOP,STACK).

% empty( STACK )
% True if STACK is empty
empty([]).

PureBasic

For LIFO function PureBasic normally uses linked lists. Usage as described above could look like;

Global NewList MyStack()

Procedure Push_LIFO(n)
  FirstElement(MyStack())
  InsertElement(MyStack())
  MyStack() = n
EndProcedure

Procedure Pop_LIFO()
  If FirstElement(MyStack())
    Topmost = MyStack()
    DeleteElement(MyStack())
  EndIf
  ProcedureReturn Topmost
EndProcedure

Procedure Empty_LIFO()
  Protected Result
  If ListSize(MyStack())=0
    Result = #True
  EndIf
  ProcedureReturn Result
EndProcedure

Procedure Peek_LIFO()
  If FirstElement(MyStack())
    Topmost = MyStack()
  EndIf
  ProcedureReturn Topmost
EndProcedure

Python

{{works with|Python|2.5}} The faster and Pythonic way is using a deque (available from 2.4). A regular list is a little slower.

from collections import deque
stack = deque()
stack.append(value) # pushing
value = stack.pop()
not stack # is empty?

If you need to expose your stack to the world, you may want to create a simpler wrapper:

from collections import deque

class Stack:
    def __init__(self):
        self._items = deque()
    def append(self, item):
        self._items.append(item)
    def pop(self):
        return self._items.pop()
    def __nonzero__(self):
        return bool(self._items)

Here is a stack implemented as linked list - with the same list interface.

class Stack:
    def __init__(self):
        self._first = None
    def __nonzero__(self):
        return self._first is not None
    def append(self, value):
        self._first = (value, self._first)
    def pop(self):
        if self._first is None:
            raise IndexError, "pop from empty stack"
        value, self._first = self._first
        return value

Notes:

Using list interface - append, nonzero make it easier to use, cleanup the client code, and allow changing the implementation later without affecting the client code. For example, instead of:

while not stack.empty():

You can write:


Quick testing show that deque is about 5 times faster then the wrapper linked list implementations. This may be important if your stack is used in tight loops.

Racket

Quick functional version:


#lang racket
(define stack '())
(define (push x stack) (cons x stack))
(define (pop stack) (values (car stack) (cdr stack)))
(define (empty? stack) (null? stack))

And a destructive object:


(struct stack ([items #:auto]) #:mutable #:auto-value '())
(define (push! x stack)
  (set-stack-items! stack (cons x (stack-items stack))))
(define (pop! stack)
  (begin0 (car (stack-items stack))
    (set-stack-items! stack (cdr (stack-items stack)))))
(define (empty? stack)
  (null? (stack-items stack)))

Use built in ''stack'' type:

new stack as s
1 s push
s pop

Word ''empty'' is also built in:

s empty if 'stack is empty' print

Ruby

Using an Array, there are already methods Array#push, Array#pop and Array#empty?.

stack = []
stack.push(value) # pushing
value = stack.pop # popping
stack.empty? # is empty?

If you need to expose your stack to the world, you may want to create a simpler wrapper. Here is a wrapper class ''Stack'' that wraps ''Array'' but only exposes stack methods.

require 'forwardable'

# A stack contains elements in last-in, first-out order.
# Stack#push adds new elements to the top of the stack;
# Stack#pop removes elements from the top.
class Stack
  extend Forwardable

  # Creates a Stack containing _objects_.
  def self.[](*objects)
    new.push(*objects)
  end

  # Creates an empty Stack.
  def initialize
    @ary = []
  end

  # Duplicates a Stack.
  def initialize_copy(obj)
    super
    @ary = @ary.dup
  end

  # Adds each object to the top of this Stack. Returns self.
  def push(*objects)
    @ary.push(*objects)
    self
  end
  alias << push

  ##
  # :method: pop
  # :call-seq:
  #   pop -> obj or nil
  #   pop(n) -> ary
  #
  # Removes an element from the top of this Stack, and returns it.
  # Returns nil if the Stack is empty.
  #
  # If passing a number _n_, removes the top _n_ elements, and returns
  # an Array of them. If this Stack contains fewer than _n_ elements,
  # returns them all. If this Stack is empty, returns an empty Array.
  def_delegator :@ary, :pop

  ##
  # :method: top
  # :call-seq:
  #   top -> obj or nil
  #   top(n) -> ary
  # Returns the topmost element without modifying the stack.
  def_delegator :@ary, :last, :top

  ##
  # :method: empty?
  # Returns true if this Stack contains no elements.
  def_delegator :@ary, :empty?

  ##
  # :method: size
  # Returns the number of elements in this Stack.
  def_delegator :@ary, :size
  alias length size

  # Converts this Stack to a String.
  def to_s
    "#{self.class}#{@ary.inspect}"
  end
  alias inspect to_s
end
 Stack[]
p s.empty?                      # => true
p s.size                        # => 0
p s.top                         # => nil
p s.pop                         # => nil
p s.pop(1)                      # => []
p s.push(1)                     # => Stack[1]
p s.push(2, 3)                  # => Stack[1, 2, 3]
p s.top                         # => 3
p s.top(2)                      # => [2, 3]
p s                             # => Stack[1, 2, 3]
p s.size                        # => 3
p s.pop                         # => 3
p s.pop(1)                      # => [2]
p s.empty?                      # => false

p s = Stack[:a, :b, :c]         # => Stack[:a, :b, :c]
p s << :d                       # => Stack[:a, :b, :c, :d]
p s.pop                         # => :d

Just meeting the requirements of a push, pop and empty method:

require 'forwardable'

class Stack
  extend Forwardable

  def initialize
    @stack = []
  end

  def_delegators :@stack, :push, :pop, :empty?
end

(push takes multiple arguments; pop takes an optional argument which specifies how many to pop)

Rust

Using the standard library

One could just use a vector (Vec) which is part of the standard library

fn main() {
    let mut stack = Vec::new();
    stack.push("Element1");
    stack.push("Element2");
    stack.push("Element3");

    assert_eq!(Some(&"Element3"), stack.last());
    assert_eq!(Some("Element3"), stack.pop());
    assert_eq!(Some("Element2"), stack.pop());
    assert_eq!(Some("Element1"), stack.pop());
    assert_eq!(None, stack.pop());
}

Simple implementation

Simply uses a singly-linked list.

pub struct Stack<T> {
    head: Link<T>,
}

    elem: T,
    next: Link<T>,

Sather

This one uses a builtin linked list to keep the values pushed onto the stack.

class STACK{T} is
  private attr stack :LLIST{T};

  create:SAME is
    res ::= new;
    res.stack := #LLIST{T};
    return res;
  end;

  push(elt: T) is
    stack.insert_front(elt);
  end;

  pop: T is
    if ~stack.is_empty then
      stack.rewind;
      r ::= stack.current;
      stack.delete;
      return r;
    else
      raise "stack empty!\n";
    end;
  end;

  top: T is
    stack.rewind;
    return stack.current;
  end;

  is_empty: BOOL is
    return stack.is_empty;
  end;
end;
class MAIN is
  main is
    s ::= #STACK{INT};
    #OUT + "push values...\n";
    s.push(3);
    s.push(2);
    s.push(1);
    s.push(0);
    #OUT + "retrieving them...\n";
    loop
      #OUT + s.pop + "\n";
    until!(s.is_empty); end;
  end;
end;

Sather library has the abstract class $STACK{T}, but using this forces us to implement other methods too.

Scala

The Do it yourself approach:

class Stack[T] {
  private var items = List[T]()

  def isEmpty = items.isEmpty

  def peek = items match {
    case List()       => error("Stack empty")
    case head :: rest => head
  }

  def pop = items match {
    case List()       => error("Stack empty")
    case head :: rest => items = rest; head
  }

  def push(value: T) = items = value +: items
}

Or use the standard Scala library. Slightly modified to meet to requirements of this task.

import collection.mutable.{ Stack => Stak }

class Stack[T] extends Stak[T] {
  override def pop: T = {
    if (this.length == 0) error("Can't Pop from an empty Stack.")
    else super.pop
  }
  def peek: T = this.head
}

A test could be:

object StackTest extends App {

  val stack = new Stack[String]

  stack.push("Peter Pan")
  stack.push("Suske & Wiske", "Alice in Wonderland")

  assert(stack.peek == "Alice in Wonderland")
  assert(stack.pop() == "Alice in Wonderland")
  assert(stack.pop() == "Suske & Wiske")
  assert(stack.pop() == "Peter Pan")
  println("Completed without errors")
}

Scheme

This version uses primitive message passing.

(define (make-stack)
  (let ((st '()))
    (lambda (message . args)
      (case message
        ((empty?) (null? st))
        ((top) (if (null? st)
                   'empty
                   (car st)))
        ((push) (set! st (cons (car args) st)))
        ((pop) (if (null? st)
                   'empty
                   (let ((result (car st)))
                     (set! st (cdr st))
                     result)))
        (else 'badmsg)))))

Sidef

Using a built-in array:

var stack = [];
stack.push(42);         # pushing
say stack.pop;          # popping
say stack.is_empty;     # is_emtpy?

Creating a Stack class:

class Stack(stack=[]) {
    method pop        { stack.pop };
    method push(item) { stack.push(item) };
    method empty      { stack.is_empty };
}

var stack = Stack();
stack.push(42);
say stack.pop;          # => 42
say stack.empty;        # => true

Slate

From Slate's standard library:

collections define: #Stack &parents: {ExtensibleArray}.
"An abstraction over ExtensibleArray implementations to follow the stack
protocol. The convention is that the Sequence indices run least-to-greatest
from bottom to top."

s@(Stack traits) push: obj
[s addLast: obj].

s@(Stack traits) pop
[s removeLast].

s@(Stack traits) pop: n
[s removeLast: n].

s@(Stack traits) top
[s last].

s@(Stack traits) top: n
[s last: n].

s@(Stack traits) bottom
[s first].

Smalltalk

Smalltalk has a built-in Stack class, instances of which you can send messages:


s := Stack new.
s push: 1.
s push: 2.
s push: 3.
s pop.
s top. "2"

Standard ML

The signature for a module supplying a stack interface, with a couple added functions.

signature STACK =
sig
    type 'a stack
    exception EmptyStack

    val empty : 'a stack
    val isEmpty : 'a stack -> bool

    val push : ('a * 'a stack) -> 'a stack
    val pop  : 'a stack -> 'a stack
    val top  : 'a stack -> 'a
    val popTop : 'a stack -> 'a stack * 'a

    val map : ('a -> 'b) -> 'a stack -> 'b stack
    val app : ('a -> unit) -> 'a stack -> unit
end

An implementation of the STACK signature, using immutable lists.

 STACK =
struct
    type 'a stack = 'a list
    exception EmptyStack

    val empty = []

    fun isEmpty st = null st

    fun push (x, st) = x::st

    fun pop []      = raise EmptyStack
      | pop (x::st) = st

    fun top []      = raise EmptyStack
      | top (x::st) = x

    fun popTop st = (pop st, top st)

    fun map f st = List.map f st

Define a class Stack in a class module with that name.

'Simple Stack class

'uses a dynamic array of Variants to stack the values
