size() Operation in Stack

Size operation in Stack is used to return the count of elements that are present inside the stack

Below is a sample program to show Pop operation in Stack.

C++
#include <bits/stdc++.h> 
using namespace std; 

int main() 
{ 

    stack<int> s; // creating a stack of integers 

    cout << s.size() 
        << endl; // Prints 0 since the stack is empty 

    s.push(1); // This pushes 1 to the stack top 
    s.push(2); // This pushes 2 to the stack top 
    cout << s.size() << endl; // Prints 2 since the stack 
                            // contains two elements 

    s.push(3); // This pushes 3 to the stack top 
    cout << s.size() << endl; // Prints 3 since the stack 
                            // contains three elements 
}
Java
import java.util.Stack;

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Stack<Integer> s = new Stack<>(); // creating a stack of integers

        System.out.println(s.size()); // Prints 0 since the stack is empty

        s.push(1); // This pushes 1 to the stack top
        s.push(2); // This pushes 2 to the stack top
        System.out.println(s.size()); // Prints 2 since the stack contains two elements

        s.push(3); // This pushes 3 to the stack top
        System.out.println(s.size()); // Prints 3 since the stack contains three elements
    }
}
Python3
# PYthon Code:
stack = [] # creating an empty list as a stack

print(len(stack)) # Prints 0 since the stack is empty

stack.append(1) # This appends 1 to the stack
stack.append(2) # This appends 2 to the stack
print(len(stack)) # Prints 2 since the stack contains two elements

stack.append(3) # This appends 3 to the stack
print(len(stack)) # Prints 3 since the stack contains three element

C#
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;

public class Program
{
    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        Stack<int> s = new Stack<int>(); // creating a stack of integers 

        Console.WriteLine(s.Count); // Prints 0 since the stack is empty 

        s.Push(1); // This pushes 1 to the stack top 
        s.Push(2); // This pushes 2 to the stack top 
        Console.WriteLine(s.Count); // Prints 2 since the stack contains two elements 

        s.Push(3); // This pushes 3 to the stack top 
        Console.WriteLine(s.Count); // Prints 3 since the stack contains three elements 
    }
}
//This code is contribiuted by Kishan.
Javascript
let stack = []; // Creating an array to simulate a stack

console.log(stack.length); // Prints 0 since the stack is empty

stack.push(1); // This pushes 1 to the stack top
stack.push(2); // This pushes 2 to the stack top
console.log(stack.length); // Prints 2 since the stack contains two elements

stack.push(3); // This pushes 3 to the stack top
console.log(stack.length); // Prints 3 since the stack contains three elements

Basic Operations in Stack Data Structure with Implementations

In order to make manipulations in a stack, there are certain operations provided to us for Stack, which include:

  • push() to insert an element into the stack
  • pop() to remove an element from the stack
  • top() Returns the top element of the stack.
  • isEmpty() returns true if the stack is empty else false.
  • size() returns the size of the stack.

In this post, we will see how to perform these operations on Stack.
