Question
Consider the following sequence of stack operations: PUSH(10) โ PUSH(20) โ PUSH(30) โ POP() โ PUSH(40) โ POP() โ POP() What is the final state of the stack and what were the values returned by the three POP operations?
Solution
Tracing each operation step by step (LIFO โ Last In First Out): PUSH(10) โ Stack: [10] (bottom to top)ย PUSH(20) โ Stack: [10, 20]ย PUSH(30) โ Stack: [10, 20, 30]ย POP() โ Removes 30 (top). Stack: [10, 20]. Returns: 30ย PUSH(40) โ Stack: [10, 20, 40]ย POP() โ Removes 40 (top). Stack: [10, 20]. Returns: 40ย POP() โ Removes 20 (top). Stack: [10]. Returns: 20 Final state: Stack = [10] (only 10 remains at bottom). POP operations returned: 30, then 40, then 20.ย
