Jul 27, 2017 - Stack and Queue both are the non-primitive data structures. The main differences between stack and queue are that stack uses LIFO (last in first out) method to access and add data elements whereas Queue uses FIFO (First in first out) method to access and add data elements.

What is the basic difference between stack and queue??Please help me i am unable to find the difference.How do you differentiate a stack and a queue?I searched for the answer in various links and found this answer.In high level programming,a stack is defined as a list or sequence of elements that is lengthened by placing new elements 'on top' of existing elements and shortened by removing elements from the top of existing elements. It is an ADTAbstract Data Type with math operations of 'push' and 'pop'.A queue is a sequence of elements that is added to by placing the new element at the rear of existing and shortened by removing elements in front of queue. It is an ADTAbstract Data Type. There is more to these terms understood in programming of Java, C, Python and so on.Can i have an answer which is more detailed? Please help me. Haha well sure this is a perfect description of Queue and Stack, but just for arguments sake, what if I want the first pancake added to the plate?
I know this can be completed with a stack.size vs. If(!stack.isEmpty), but still that first pancake might be the best one:). Either way, nice answer and I agree this is the clearest.seems interesting that the British refer to lines as Queues though (if that is accurate), in non-programming language I would still consider that a line where the first entry gets to leave first (after exiting the line/queue)–Apr 11 '18 at 23:05. You can think of both as an ordered list of things (ordered by the time at which they were added to the list). The main difference between the two is how new elements enter the list and old elements leave the list.For a stack, if I have a list a, b, c, and I add d, it gets tacked on the end, so I end up with a,b,c,d. If I want to pop an element of the list, I remove the last element I added, which is d.
After a pop, my list is now a,b,c againFor a queue, I add new elements in the same way. A,b,c becomes a,b,c,d after adding d. But, now when I pop, I have to take an element from the front of the list, so it becomes b,c,d.It's very simple! QueueQueue is a ordered collection of items.Items are deleted at one end called ‘front’ end of the queue.Items are inserted at other end called ‘rear’ of the queue.The first item inserted is the first to be removed (FIFO).StackStack is a collection of items.It allows access to only one data item: the last item inserted.Items are inserted & deleted at one end called ‘Top of the stack’.It is a dynamic & constantly changing object.All the data items are put on top of the stack and taken off the topThis structure of accessing is known as Last in First out structure (LIFO).
STACK:. Stack is defined as a list of element in which we can insert or delete elements only at the top of the stack.
The behaviour of a stack is like a Last-In First-Out(LIFO) system. Stack is used to pass parameters between function. On a call to a function, the parameters and local variables are stored on a stack. High-level programming languages such as Pascal, c, etc.
That provide support for recursion use the stack for bookkeeping. Remember in each recursive call, there is a need to save the current value of parameters, local variables, and the return address (the address to which the control has to return after the call).QUEUE:. Queue is a collection of the same type of element. It is a linear list in which insertions can take place at one end of the list,called rear of the list, and deletions can take place only at other end, called the front of the list.
The behaviour of a queue is like a First-In-First-Out (FIFO) system. A stack is a collection of elements, which can be stored and retrieved one at a time. Elements are retrieved in reverse order of their time of storage, i.e. The latest element stored is the next element to be retrieved. A stack is sometimes referred to as a Last-In-First-Out (LIFO) or First-In-Last-Out (FILO) structure.
Elements previously stored cannot be retrieved until the latest element (usually referred to as the 'top' element) has been retrieved.A queue is a collection of elements, which can be stored and retrieved one at a time. Elements are retrieved in order of their time of storage, i.e. The first element stored is the next element to be retrieved. A queue is sometimes referred to as a First-In-First-Out (FIFO) or Last-In-Last-Out (LILO) structure.

Elements subsequently stored cannot be retrieved until the first element (usually referred to as the 'front' element) has been retrieved. Stacks a considered a vertical collection. First understand that a collection is an OBJECT that gathers and organizes other smaller OBJECTS. These smaller OBJECTS are commonly referred to as Elements. These elements are 'Pushed' on the stack in an A B C order where A is first and C is last. Vertically it would look like this:3rd element added) C2nd element added) B1st element added) ANotice that the 'A' which was first added to the stack is on the bottom.If you want to remove the 'A' from the stack you first have to remove 'C', then 'B', and then finally your target element 'A'. The stack requires a LIFO approach while dealing with the complexities of a stack.(Last In First Out) When removing an element from a stack, the correct syntax is pop.
We don't remove an element off a stack we 'pop' it off.Recall that 'A' was the first element pushed on to the stack and 'C' was the last item Pushed on the stack. Should you decide that you would like to see what is on bottom the stack, being the 3 elements are on the stack ordered A being the first B being the second and C being the third element, the top would have to be popped off then the second element added in order to view the bottom of the stack.
Stack:In the pushdown stacks only two operations are allowed: push the item into the stack, and pop the item out of the stack. A stack is a limited access data structure - elements can be added and removed from the stack only at the top. Push adds an item to the top of the stack, pop removes the item from the top. A helpful analogy is to think of a stack of books; you can remove only the top book, also you can add a new book on the top.Queue:An excellent example of a queue is a line of students in the food court of the UC. New additions to a line made to the back of the queue, while removal (or serving) happens in the front. In the queue only two operations are allowed enqueue and dequeue. Enqueue means to insert an item into the back of the queue, dequeue means removing the front item.
The picture demonstrates the FIFO access.The difference between stacks and queues is in removing. In a stack we remove the item the most recently added; in a queue, we remove the item the least recently added. FIFO & LILO and LIFO & FILO PrinciplesQueue: First In First Out (FIFO): The first object into a queue is the first object to leave the queue, used by a queue.Stack: Last In First Out (LIFO): The last object into a stack is the first object to leave the stack, used by a stackORStack: Last In First Out (FILO): The First object or item in a stack is the last object or item to leave the stack.Queue: Last In First Out (LILO): The last object or item in a queue is the last object or item to leave the queue.
