Representation of Linked Stack in C
In C, the stack that is implemented using a linked list can be represented by the pointer to the head node of the linked list. Each node in that linked list represents the element of the stack. The type of linked list here is a singly linked list in which each node consists of a data field and the next pointer.
struct Node {
type data;
Node* next;
}
The type of data can be defined according to the requirement.
Note: Even being the better method of stack implementation, the linked list implementation only used when it is absolutely necessary because we have to implement the linked list also as there are no built in data structure for it in C Programming Language.
Stack Using Linked List in C
Stack is a linear data structure that follows the Last-In-First-Out (LIFO) order of operations. This means the last element added to the stack will be the first one to be removed. There are different ways using which we can implement stack data structure in C.
In this article, we will learn how to implement a stack using a linked list in C, its basic operation along with their time and space complexity analysis.
