Consider the following Stack operations: push(d), push(h), pop(), push(f), push(s), pop(), pop(), push(m).

Assume the stack is initially empty, what is the sequence of popped values, and what is the final state of the stack? (Identify which end is the top of the stack.)

Sequence of popped values: h,s,f.

State of stack (from top to bottom): m, d

Explanation:

Assuming that stack is  initially empty. Suppose that p contains the popped values. The state of the stack is where the top and bottom are pointing to in the stack. The top of the stack is that end of the stack where the new value is entered and existing values is removed. The sequence works as following:

push(d) -> enters d to the Stack

Stack:  

d ->top

push(h) -> enters h to the Stack

Stack:

h ->top

d ->bottom

pop() -> removes h from the Stack:

Stack:

d ->top

p: Suppose p contains popped values so first popped value entered to p is h

p = h

push(f) -> enters f to the Stack

Stack:

f ->top

d ->bottom

push(s) -> enters s to the Stack

Stack:

s ->top

f

d ->bottom

pop() -> removes s from the Stack:

Stack:

f ->top

d -> bottom

p = h, s

pop() -> removes f from the Stack:

Stack:

d ->top

p = h, s, f

push(m) -> enters m to the Stack:

Stack:

m ->top

d ->bottom

So looking at p the sequence of popped values is:

h, s, f

the final state of the stack:

m, d

end that is the top of the stack:

m
