Disadvantages of Stacks
- Limited access: Elements in a stack can only be accessed from the top, making it difficult to retrieve or modify elements in the middle of the stack.
- Potential for overflow: If more elements are pushed onto a stack than it can hold, an overflow error will occur, resulting in a loss of data.
- Not suitable for random access: Stacks do not allow for random access to elements, making them unsuitable for applications where elements need to be accessed in a specific order.
- Limited capacity: Stacks have a fixed capacity, which can be a limitation if the number of elements that need to be stored is unknown or highly variable.
Applications, Advantages and Disadvantages of Stack
A stack is a linear data structure in which the insertion of a new element and removal of an existing element takes place at the same end represented as the top of the stack.
