Stack
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
Data Structure
This illustrates a data structure, a means of storing data within a program.
A stack is a container of elements with last in, first out access policy. Sometimes it also called LIFO.
The stack is accessed through its top.
The basic stack operations are:
- push stores a new element onto the stack top;
- pop returns the last pushed stack element, while removing it from the stack;
- empty tests if the stack contains no elements.
Sometimes the last pushed stack element is made accessible for immutable access (for read) or mutable access (for write):
- top (sometimes called peek to keep with the p theme) returns the topmost element without modifying the stack.
Stacks allow a very simple hardware implementation.
They are common in almost all processors.
In programming, stacks are also very popular for their way (LIFO) of resource management, usually memory.
Nested scopes of language objects are naturally implemented by a stack (sometimes by multiple stacks).
This is a classical way to implement local variables of a re-entrant or recursive subprogram. Stacks are also used to describe a formal computational framework.
See stack machine.
Many algorithms in pattern matching, compiler construction (e.g. recursive descent parsers), and machine learning (e.g. based on tree traversal) have a natural representation in terms of stacks.
- Task
Create a stack supporting the basic operations: push, pop, empty.

6502 Assembly
The 6502 has a built-in stack, which is located at memory addresses $0100-$01FF. The first thing most boot ROMs will do is set the stack to equal $FF. Only the X register can interact with the stack pointer's value directly, and it does so using TSX
(transfer stack to X) and TXS
(transfer X to stack.) Each push will decrement S by 1 and write that byte to the stack memory. On the original 6502, only the accumulator could be pushed to the stack, so programs running on those CPUs would often use sequences such as TXA PHA
and TYA PHA
to save the X and Y registers. This had the nasty habit of destroying the accumulator, which made saving these registers difficult. Fortunately, the 65c02 and its later revisions can push/pop X and Y directly without having to go through the accumulator first.

68000 Assembly
The 68000 is well-suited to stack data structures. Register A7 contains the stack pointer, however any address register can be used for a similar purpose. Any register from A0-A6 can be pointed to work RAM and used as a stack.
Push
You can push the contents of one or more variables.
LEA userStack,A0 ;initialize the user stack, points to a memory address in user RAM. Only do this once!
MOVEM.L D0-D3,-(A0) ;moves the full 32 bits of registers D0,D1,D2,D3 into the address pointed by A0, with pre-decrement
Unlike the "true" stack (A7), you can push a single byte onto the user stack and it won't get automatically padded with a trailing null byte.
Pop
The pop is just a reverse push.
MOVEM.L (A0)+,D0-D3 ;returns the four longs stored in the stack back to where they came from.
Empty
The stack is empty if and only if the stack pointer equals its initialized value. This is only true provided you have never adjusted the stack pointer except by pushing and popping.
CMPA.L #userStack,A0
BEQ StackIsEmpty
Manually adjusting the stack
You can offset the user stack (and the real stack) as follows:
LEA (4,SP),SP ;does the same thing to the stack as popping 4 bytes, except those bytes are not retrieved.
Peek
If you know the intended length of the last item on the stack (1, 2, or 4 bytes), you can load it into memory without popping it. This applies to both the real stack and a user stack you may have created. Since this operation doesn't alter the value of the stack pointer, you don't have to worry about misaligning the stack, but the value you peek at should be of the correct size or you'll be "peeking" at more than one item at the same time.
MOVE.W (SP),D0 ;load the top two bytes of the stack into D0
MOVE.W (A0),D0 ;load the top two bytes of A0 into D0
8086 Assembly
The 8086's hardware stack is very similar to that of Z80 Assembly. This is no coincidence, as the Z80 was based on the predecessor to the 8086.
push ax ;push ax onto the stack
pop ax ; pop the top two bytes of the stack into ax
The "high" byte is pushed first, then the low byte. Popping does the opposite.
Depending on your assembler, the stack's initial value may be set using the .stack
directive.
Like the Z80, the 8086 can only push or pop 2 bytes at a time. It's not possible to push AH
without pushing AL
alongside it. The stack can be used to exchange values of registers that even the XCHG
command can't work with. This is done by deliberately pushing two registers and popping them in the "wrong" order.
The easiest way to "peek" is to pop then push that same register again.
;get the top item of the stack
pop ax
push ax
The stack need not be accessed using these push and pop commands, it can also be read like any other area of memory. This is actually how C programs store and recall local variables and function arguments.

ARM Assembly
The stack is held in register 13, or r13
but more commonly referred to as SP
for clarity.
Pushing and popping multiple values is very similar to 68000 Assembly.
STMFD sp!,{r0-r12,lr} ;push r0 thru r12 and the link register
LDMFD sp!,{r0-r12,pc} ;pop r0 thru r12, and the value that was in the link register is put into the program counter.
;This acts as a pop and return command all-in-one. (Most programs use bx lr to return.)
Like in 68000 Assembly, you are not limited to using SP
as the source/destination for these commands; any register can fulfill that role. If you wish to have multiple stacks, then so be it.
The stack pointer will work with any operation the other registers can. As such, a peek can be done by using an LDR
with the stack pointer as the address register:
LDR r0,[sp] ;load the top of the stack into r0
The order in which registers are pushed/popped is always the same, no matter which order you list the registers in your source code. If you want to push some registers and purposefully pop them into different registers, you'll need to push/pop them separately.
A check if the stack is empty is also very simple, provided the initial value of the stack pointer was saved at the start of the program, or (more likely) was loaded from a nearby memory location.
;this example uses VASM syntax which considers a "word" to be 16-bit regardless of the architecture
InitStackPointer: .long 0x3FFFFFFF ;other assemblers would call this a "word"
MOV R1,#InitStackPointer
LDR SP,[R1] ;set up the stack pointer
LDR R2,[R1] ;also load it into R2
;There's no point in checking since we haven't pushed/popped anything but just for demonstration purposes we'll check now
CMP SP,R2
BEQ StackIsEmpty
In THUMB mode, the PUSH
and POP
commands replace STMFD
and LDMFD
. They work in a similar fashion, but are limited to just the stack unlike the real STMFD
and LDMFD
commands which can use any register as the "stack pointer."

This implementation uses an environment variable naming convention to implement a stack as a pseudo object containing a pseudo dynamic array and top attribute, as well as an empty "method" that is a sort of macro. The implementation depends on delayed expansion being enabled at the time of each call to a stack function. More complex variations can be written that remove this limitation.

Beeswax is a stack-based language. The instruction pointers (bees) carry small local stacks (lstacks) of fixed length 3 that can interact with the global stack (gstack) of unrestricted length. The local stacks do not behave exactly like the stack specified in this task, but the global stack does.
Push (1): f
pushes the topmost value of lstack on gstack.
instruction: _f gstack: UInt64[0]• (at the beginning of a program lstack is initialized to [0 0 0]
Push (2): e
pushes all three lstack values on gstack, in reversed order.
instruction: _e gstack: UInt64[0 0 0]• (at the beginning of a program lstack is initialized to [0 0 0]
Push (3): i
pushes an integer from STDIN as UInt64 value on gstack.
instruction: _i input: i123 gstack: UInt64[123]•
Push (4): c
pushes the Unicode codepoint value of a character from STDIN as UInt64 value on gstack.
instruction: _c input: cH gstack: UInt64[72]•
Push (5): V
pushes the Unicode codepoint values of the characters of a string given at STDIN as UInt64 values on gstack, last character, followed by newline on top.
instruction: _V input: sHello, α∀ gstack: UInt64[72 101 108 108 111 44 32 945 8704 10]•
Pop: g{?
reads the top value of gstack and stores it on top of lstack. Then outputs top value of lstack to STDOUT and finally pops gstack.
Empty: Ag?';`gstack is empty`
pushes length of gstack on gstack, reads top value of gstack, stores it as top value of lstack and prints gstack is empty
if lstack top=0.
Top: g{
reads the top value of gstack, stores it on top of lstack. Then outputs top value of lstack to STDOUT. If gstack is empty, this instruction does not do anything but return the topmost value of lstack.
To make sure that there is any value on gstack, you would need to check for gstack length first, using the method shown in the “Empty” example above:
*Ag'{`gstack empty, no value to return`
This method returns the top value of gstack only if gstack is not empty, otherwise it outputs gstack empty, no value to return
to STDOUT.
BQN
Representing the stack as an array, pushing is appending, popping is removing the last element, and checking emptiness is checking the length.

A stack is easiest implemented as a dotted list top.top-1.top-2.[...].

, instantiated in the 'object' Stack
. The class has a member variable S
and methods push
,pop
, top
and empty
. As a side note, .
is to ..
as C's .
is to ->
. In a method's body, its

in C++.)

#include <stack>

explicit stack(const Sequence& s0) : seq(s0) {}
bool empty() const { return seq.empty(); }
size_type size() const { return seq.size(); }
reference top() { return seq.back(); }
const_reference top() const { return seq.back(); }
void push(const value_type& x) { seq.push_back(x); }
void pop() { seq.pop_back(); }
};

As is mentioned in the Common Lisp example below, built in cons-based lists work just fine. In this implementation, the list is wrapped in a datatype, providing a stateful solution.
(deftype Stack [elements])

Common Lisp
It's a bit unusual to write a wrapper for a stack in Common Lisp; built-in cons-based lists work just fine. Nonetheless, here's an implementation where the list is wrapped in a structure, providing a stateful solution.
(defstruct stack
elements)
(defun stack-push (element stack)
(push element (stack-elements stack)))
(defun stack-pop (stack)(deftype Stack [elements])
(defun stack-empty (stack)
(endp (stack-elements stack)))
(defun stack-top (stack)
(first (stack-elements stack)))
(defun stack-peek (stack)
(stack-top stack))

Elisa
This is a generic Stack component based on arrays. See how in Elisa generic components are defined.
component GenericStack ( Stack, Element );
type Stack;
Stack (MaxSize = integer) -> Stack;
Empty ( Stack ) -> boolean;
Full ( Stack ) -> boolean;
Push ( Stack, Element) -> nothing;
Pull ( Stack ) -> Element;
begin
Stack(MaxSize) =
Stack:[ MaxSize; index:=0; area=array (Element, MaxSize) ];
Empty( stack ) = (stack.index <= 0);
Full ( stack ) = (stack.index >= stack.MaxSize);
Push ( stack, element ) =
[ exception (Full (stack), "Stack Overflow");
stack.index:=stack.index + 1;
stack.area[stack.index]:=element ];
Pull ( stack ) =
[ exception (Empty (stack), "Stack Underflow");
stack.index:=stack.index - 1;
stack.area[stack.index + 1] ];
end component GenericStack;
Another example of a generic Stack component is based on an unlimited sequence. A sequence is a uni-directional list. See how Elisa defines sequences. The component has the same interface as the array based version.
component GenericStack ( Stack, ElementType );
type Stack;
Stack(MaxSize = integer) -> Stack;
Empty( Stack ) -> boolean;
Full ( Stack ) -> boolean;
Push ( Stack, ElementType)-> nothing;
Pull ( Stack ) -> ElementType;
begin
type sequence = term;
ElementType & sequence => sequence;
nil = null (sequence);
head (sequence) -> ElementType;
head (X & Y) = ElementType:X;
tail (sequence) -> sequence;
tail (X & Y) = Y;
Stack (Size) = Stack:[ list = nil ];
Empty ( stack ) = (stack.list == nil);
Full ( stack ) = false;
Push ( stack, ElementType ) = [ stack.list:= ElementType & stack.list ];
Pull ( stack ) = [ exception (Empty (stack), "Stack Underflow");
Head = head(stack.list); stack.list:=tail(stack.list); Head];
end component GenericStack;
Both versions give the same answers to the following tests:
use GenericStack (StackofBooks, Book);
type Book = text;
BookStack = StackofBooks(50);
Push (BookStack, "Peter Pan");
Push (BookStack, "Alice in Wonderland");
Pull (BookStack)?
"Alice in Wonderland"

defmodule Stack do
def new, do: []

def empty?(_), do: false
def pop([h|t]), do: {h,t}
def push(h,t), do: [h|t]
def top([h|_]), do: h
end
Example:
iex(2)> stack = Stack.new [] iex(3)> Stack.empty?(stack) true iex(4)> newstack = List.foldl([1,2,3,4,5], stack, fn x,acc -> Stack.push(x,acc) end) [5, 4, 3, 2, 1] iex(5)> Stack.top(newstack) 5 iex(6)> {popped, poppedstack} = Stack.pop(newstack) {5, [4, 3, 2, 1]} iex(7)> Stack.empty?(newstack) false
Erlang
Erlang has no built-in stack, but its lists behave basically the same way. A stack module can be implemented as a simple wrapper around lists:
-module(stack).
-export([empty/1, new/0, pop/1, push/2, top/1]).
new() -> [].
empty([]) -> true;
empty(_) -> false.
pop([H|T]) -> {H,T}.
push(H,T) -> [H|T].
top([H|_]) -> H.
Note that as Erlang doesn't have mutable data structure (destructive updates), pop returns the popped element and the new stack as a tuple.
The module is tested this way:
1> c(stack).
{ok,stack}
2> Stack = stack:new().
[]
3> NewStack = lists:foldl(fun stack:push/2, Stack, [1,2,3,4,5]).
[5,4,3,2,1]
4> stack:top(NewStack).
5
5> {Popped, PoppedStack} = stack:pop(NewStack).
{5,[4,3,2,1]}
6> stack:empty(NewStack).
false
7> stack:empty(stack:new()).
true
F#
.NET provides a mutable stack type in System.Collections.Generic.Stack
.
A list-based immutable stack type could be implemented like this:
type Stack<'a> //'//(workaround for syntax highlighting problem)
(?items) =
let items = defaultArg items []
member x.Push(A) = Stack(A::items)
member x.Pop() =
match items with
| x::xr -> (x, Stack(xr))
| [] -> failwith "Stack is empty."
member x.IsEmpty() = items = []
// example usage
let anEmptyStack = Stack<int>()
let stack2 = anEmptyStack.Push(42)
printfn "%A" (stack2.IsEmpty())
let (x, stack3) = stack2.Pop()
printfn "%d" x
printfn "%A" (stack3.IsEmpty())
Factor
Factor is a stack based language, but also provides stack "objects", because all resizable sequences can be treated as stacks (see docs). Typically, a vector is used:
V{ 1 2 3 } {
[ 6 swap push ]
[ "hi" swap push ]
[ "Vector is now: " write . ]
[ "Let's pop it: " write pop . ]
[ "Vector is now: " write . ]
[ "Top is: " write last . ] } cleave
Vector is now: V{ 1 2 3 6 "hi" }
Let's pop it: "hi"
Vector is now: V{ 1 2 3 6 }
Top is: 6

Go
Go slices make excellent stacks without defining any extra types, functions, or methods. For example, to keep a stack of integers, simply declare one as,
var intStack []int
Use the built in append function to push numbers on the stack:
intStack = append(intStack, 7)
Use a slice expression with the built in len function to pop from the stack:
popped, intStack = intStack[len(intStack)-1], intStack[:len(intStack)-1]
The test for an empty stack:
len(intStack) == 0
And to peek at the top of the stack:
intStack[len(intStack)-1]
It is idiomatic Go to use primitive language features where they are sufficient, and define helper functions or types and methods only as they make sense for a particular situation. Below is an example using a type with methods and idiomatic "ok" return values to avoid panics. It is only an example of something that might make sense in some situation.
package main
import "fmt"
type stack []interface{}
func (k *stack) push(s interface{}) {
*k = append(*k, s)
}
func (k *stack) pop() (s interface{}, ok bool) {
if k.empty() {
return
}
last := len(*k) - 1
s = (*k)[last]
*k = (*k)[:last]
return s, true
}
func (k *stack) peek() (s interface{}, ok bool) {
if k.empty() {
return
}
last := len(*k) - 1
s = (*k)[last]
return s, true
}
func (k *stack) empty() bool {
return len(*k) == 0
}
func main() {
var s stack
fmt.Println("new stack:", s)
fmt.Println("empty?", s.empty())
s.push(3)
fmt.Println("push 3. stack:", s)
fmt.Println("empty?", s.empty())
s.push("four")
fmt.Println(`push "four" stack:`, s)
if top, ok := s.peek(); ok {
fmt.Println("top value:", top)
} else {
fmt.Println("nothing on stack")
}
if popped, ok := s.pop(); ok {
fmt.Println(popped, "popped. stack:", s)
} else {
fmt.Println("nothing to pop")
}
}
- Output:

GDScript
In GDScript there is built-in Array class, that implements either 'push', 'pop', 'top' and 'empty' methods. Method names are:
- push -> push_back
- pop -> pop_back
- top -> back
- empty -> is_empty
extends Node2D
func _ready() -> void:
# Empty stack creation.
var stack : Array = []
# In Godot 4.2.1 nothing happens here.
stack.pop_back()
if stack.is_empty():
print("Stack is empty.")
stack.push_back(3)
stack.push_back("Value")
stack.push_back(1.5e32)
print(stack)
print("Last element is: " + str(stack.back()))
stack.pop_back()
print(stack)
print("Last element is: " + str(stack.back()))
if not stack.is_empty():
print("Stack is not empty.")
return
- Output:
Stack is empty. [3, "Value", 149999999999999999042044051849216] Last element is: 149999999999999999042044051849216 [3, "Value"] Last element is: Value Stack is not empty.
Groovy
In Groovy, all lists have stack semantics, including "push()" and "pop()" methods, an "empty" property, and a "last()" method as a stand-in for "top/peek" semantics. Calling "pop()" on an empty list throws an exception.
Of course, these stack semantics are not exclusive. Elements of the list can still be accessed and manipulated in myriads of other ways.
If you need exclusive stack semantics, you can use the java.util.Stack
class, as demonstrated in the Java example.
def stack = []
assert stack.empty
stack.push(55)
stack.push(21)
stack.push('kittens')
assert stack.last() == 'kittens'
assert stack.size() == 3
assert ! stack.empty
println stack
assert stack.pop() == "kittens"
assert stack.size() == 2
println stack
stack.push(-20)
println stack
stack.push( stack.pop() * stack.pop() )
assert stack.last() == -420
assert stack.size() == 2
println stack
stack.push(stack.pop() / stack.pop())
assert stack.size() == 1
println stack
println stack.pop()
assert stack.size() == 0
assert stack.empty
try { stack.pop() } catch (NoSuchElementException e) { println e.message }
- Output:
[55, 21, kittens] [55, 21] [55, 21, -20] [55, -420] [-7.6363636364] -7.6363636364 Cannot pop() an empty List
Haskell
The Haskell solution is trivial, using a list. Note that pop
returns both the element and the changed stack, to remain purely functional.
type Stack a = [a]
create :: Stack a
create = []
push :: a -> Stack a -> Stack a
push = (:)
pop :: Stack a -> (a, Stack a)
pop [] = error "Stack empty"
pop (x:xs) = (x,xs)
empty :: Stack a -> Bool
empty = null
peek :: Stack a -> a
peek [] = error "Stack empty"
peek (x:_) = x
We can make a stack that can be destructively popped by hiding the list inside a State
monad.
import Control.Monad.State
type Stack a b = State [a] b
push :: a -> Stack a ()
push = modify . (:)
pop :: Stack a a
pop = do
nonEmpty
x <- peek
modify tail
return x
empty :: Stack a Bool
empty = gets null
peek :: Stack a a
peek = nonEmpty >> gets head
nonEmpty :: Stack a ()
nonEmpty = empty >>= flip when (fail "Stack empty")
Icon and Unicon
Stacks (and double ended queues) are built into Icon and Unicon as part of normal list access. In addition to 'push' and 'pop', there are the functions 'put', 'get' (alias for pop), 'pull', list element addressing, and list sectioning (like sub-strings). Unicon extended 'insert' and 'delete' to work with lists. The programmer is free to use any or all of the list processing functions on any problem. The following illustrates typical stack usage:
Io
aside from using built-in lists, a stack can be created using nodes like so:
Node := Object clone do(
next := nil
obj := nil
)
Stack := Object clone do(
node := nil
pop := method(
obj := node obj
node = node next
obj
)
push := method(obj,
nn := Node clone
nn obj = obj
nn next = self node
self node = nn
)
)
Ioke
Stack = Origin mimic do(
initialize = method(@elements = [])
pop = method(@elements pop!)
empty = method(@elements empty?)
push = method(element, @elements push!(element))
)

pop and empty ignore their arguments. In this implementation. push returns an empty list.
Java
The collections framework includes a Stack class. Let's test it:
import java.util.Stack;
public class StackTest {
public static void main( final String[] args ) {
final Stack<String> stack = new Stack<String>();
System.out.println( "New stack empty? " + stack.empty() );
stack.push( "There can be only one" );
System.out.println( "Pushed stack empty? " + stack.empty() );
System.out.println( "Popped single entry: " + stack.pop() );
stack.push( "First" );
stack.push( "Second" );
System.out.println( "Popped entry should be second: " + stack.pop() );
// Popping an empty stack will throw...
stack.pop();
stack.pop();
}
}
- Output:
New stack empty? true Pushed stack empty? false Popped single entry: There can be only one Popped entry should be second: Second Exception in thread "main" java.util.EmptyStackException at java.util.Stack.peek(Stack.java:85) at java.util.Stack.pop(Stack.java:67) at StackTest.main(StackTest.java:21)
Alternatively, you might implement a stack yourself...
public class Stack{
private Node first = null;
public boolean isEmpty(){
return first == null;
}
public Object Pop(){
if(isEmpty())
throw new Exception("Can't Pop from an empty Stack.");
else{
Object temp = first.value;
first = first.next;
return temp;
}
}
public void Push(Object o){
first = new Node(o, first);
}
class Node{
public Node next;
public Object value;
public Node(Object value){
this(value, null);
}
public Node(Object value, Node next){
this.next = next;
this.value = value;
}
}
}
public class Stack<T>{
private Node first = null;
public boolean isEmpty(){
return first == null;
}
public T Pop(){
if(isEmpty())
throw new Exception("Can't Pop from an empty Stack.");
else{
T temp = first.value;
first = first.next;
return temp;
}
}
public void Push(T o){
first = new Node(o, first);
}
class Node{
public Node next;
public T value;
public Node(T value){
this(value, null);
}
public Node(T value, Node next){
this.next = next;
this.value = value;
}
}
}
JavaScript
The built-in Array class already has stack primitives.
var stack = [];
stack.push(1)
stack.push(2,3);
print(stack.pop()); // 3
print(stack.length); // 2, stack empty if 0
Here's a constructor that wraps the array:
function Stack() {
this.data = new Array();
this.push = function(element) {this.data.push(element)}
this.pop = function() {return this.data.pop()}
this.empty = function() {return this.data.length == 0}
this.peek = function() {return this.data[this.data.length - 1]}
}
Here's an example using the revealing module pattern instead of prototypes.
function makeStack() {
var stack = [];
var popStack = function () {
return stack.pop();
};
var pushStack = function () {
return stack.push.apply(stack, arguments);
};
var isEmpty = function () {
return stack.length === 0;
};
var peekStack = function () {
return stack[stack.length-1];
};
return {
pop: popStack,
push: pushStack,
isEmpty: isEmpty,
peek: peekStack,
top: peekStack
};
}
Jsish
From Javascript entry. Being ECMAScript, Jsi supports stack primitives as part of the Array methods.
/* Stack, is Jsish */
var stack = [];
puts('depth:', stack.length);
stack.push(42);
stack.push('abc');
puts('depth:', stack.length);
puts('popped:', stack.pop());
if (stack.length) printf('not '); printf('empty\n');
puts('top:', stack[stack.length-1]);
puts('popped:', stack.pop());
if (stack.length) printf('not '); printf('empty\n');
puts('depth:', stack.length);
- Output:
prompt$ jsish stack.jsi depth: 0 depth: 2 popped: abc not empty top: 42 popped: 42 empty depth: 0
jq
For most purposes, jq's arrays can be used for stacks if needed, without much further ado. However, since the present task requires the definition of special stack-oriented operations, we shall start with the following definitions:
# create a Stack
def Stack: {stack: []};
# check an object is a Stack
def isStack:
type == "object" and has("stack") and (.stack|type) == "array";
def pop:
if .stack|length == 0 then "pop: stack is empty" | error
else {stack: .stack[1:], item: .stack[0]]
end;
def push($x):
.stack = [$x] + .stack | .item = null;
def size:
.stack | length;
def isEmpty:
size == 0;
Depending on context, additional code to check for or to enforce type discipline could be added, but is omitted for simplicity here. If using the C implementation of jq, the function names could also be prefixed with "Stack::" to distinguish them as stack-oriented operations.
For some purposes, this approach may be sufficient, but it can easily become cumbersome if a sequence of operations must be performed while also producing outputs that reflect intermediate states.
Suppose for example that we wish to create a stack, push some value, and then pop the stack, obtaining the popped value as the final result. This could be accomplished by the pipe:
Stack | push(3) | pop | .item
Now suppose we also wish to record the size of the stack after each of these three operations. One way to do this would be to write:
Stack
| size, (push(3)
| size, (pop
| size, .item ))
Unfortunately this approach is error-prone and can quickly become tedious, so we introduce an "observer" function that can "observe" intermediate states following any operation. With observer/2 as defined below, we can instead write:
null
| observe(Stack; size)
| observe(push(3); size)
| observe(pop; size)
| .emit, item
The idea is that each call to `observe` updates the "emit" slot, so that all the accumulated messages are available at any point in the pipeline.
# Input: an object
# Output: the updated object with .emit filled in from `update|emit`.
# `emit` may produce a stream of values, which need not be strings.
def observe(update; emit):
def s(stream): reduce stream as $_ (null;
if $_ == null then .
elif . == null then "\($_)"
else . + "\n\($_)"
end);
.emit as $x
| update
| .emit = s($x // null, emit);

Kotlin
Rather than use the java.util.Stack<E> class, we will write our own simple Stack<E> class for this task:
// version 1.1.2
class Stack<E> {
private val data = mutableListOf<E>()
val size get() = data.size
val empty get() = size == 0
fun push(element: E) = data.add(element)
fun pop(): E {
if (empty) throw RuntimeException("Can't pop elements from an empty stack")
return data.removeAt(data.lastIndex)
}
val top: E
get() {
if (empty) throw RuntimeException("Empty stack can't have a top element")
return data.last()
}
fun clear() = data.clear()
override fun toString() = data.toString()
}
fun main(args: Array<String>) {
val s = Stack<Int>()
(1..5).forEach { s.push(it) }
println(s)
println("Size of stack = ${s.size}")
print("Popping: ")
(1..3).forEach { print("${s.pop()} ") }
println("\nRemaining on stack: $s")
println("Top element is now ${s.top}")
s.clear()
println("After clearing, stack is ${if(s.empty) "empty" else "not empty"}")
try {
s.pop()
}
catch (e: Exception) {
println(e.message)
}
}
- Output:
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5] Size of stack = 5 Popping: 5 4 3 Remaining on stack: [1, 2] Top element is now 2 After clearing, stack is empty Can't pop elements from an empty stack
Lambdatalk
The APIs of stacks and queues are built on lambdatalk array primitives, [A.new, A.disp, A.join, A.split, A.array?, A.null?, A.empty?, A.in?, A.equal?, A.length, A.get, A.first, A.last, A.rest, A.slice, A.duplicate, A.reverse, A.concat, A.map, A.set!, A.addlast!, A.sublast!, A.addfirst!, A.subfirst!, A.reverse!, A.sort!, A.swap!, A.lib]. Note that the [A.addlast!, A.sublast!, A.addfirst!, A.subfirst!] primitives are the standard [push!, shift!, pop!, unshift!] ones.
{def stack.add
{lambda {:v :s}

UCB Logo has built-in methods for treating lists as stacks. Since they are destructive, they take the name of the stack rather than the list itself.

Logtalk
A stack can be trivially represented using the built-in representation for lists:
:- object(stack).
:- public(push/3).
push(Element, Stack, [Element| Stack]).
:- public(pop/3).
pop([Top| Stack], Top, Stack).
:- public(empty/1)
empty([]).

M2000 Interpreter
A Stack object can be used as LIFO or FIFO. Push statement push to top of stack. Read pop a value to a variable from top of stack. StackItem(1) read top item without modified stack. Data statement append items to bottom.
Module Checkit {
a=Stack
Stack a {
Push 100, 200, 300
}
Print StackItem(a, 1)=300
Stack a {
Print StackItem(1)=300
While not empty {
Read N
Print N
}
}
}
Checkit
Every module and function has a "current" stack. Number is a read only variable, which pop a value from current stack (or raise error if not number is in top of stack).
User functions get a new stack, and drop it at return. Modules take parent stack, and return stack to parent. So a Module can return values too. In M2000 a call happen without checkig signatures (except for special events calls). We have to leave stack at a proper state, when return from a module. Return/Execution stack is hidden and different from stack of values.
Module Checkit {
Read a, b
Print a, b
}
\\ add parameters in a FIFO, and this FIFO merged to current stack
Push 100
Checkit 10, 20
Print StackItem(1)=100
Module Checkit {
Read a, b
Print a=20, b=100
}

MATLAB / Octave
Here is a simple implementation of a stack, that works in Matlab and Octave. It is closely related to the queue/fifo example.
mystack = {};
% push
mystack{end+1} = x;
%pop
x = mystack{end}; mystack{end} = [];
%peek,top
x = mystack{end};
% empty
isempty(mystack)
Below is another solution, that encapsulates the fifo within the object-orientated "class" elements supported by Matlab. The given implementation is exactly the same as the MATLAB FIFO example, except that the "push()" function is modified to add stuff to the end of the queue instead of the beginning. This is a naive implementation, for rigorous applications this should be modified to initialize the LIFO to a buffered size, so that the "pop()" and "push()" functions don't resize the cell array that stores the LIFO's elements, every time they are called.
To use this implementation you must save this code in a MATLAB script file named "LIFOQueue.m" which must be saved in a folder named @LIFOQueue in your MATLAB directory.
%This class impliments a standard LIFO queue.

%Make the contents of the cell array the elements in the queue
theQueue.queue = varargin{:};
else %There is one input argument that is not a cell
%Make that one arg the only element in the queue
theQueue.queue = varargin;
end
end
%push() - pushes a new element to the end of the queue
function push(theQueue,varargin)
if isempty(varargin)
theQueue.queue(end+1) = {[]};
elseif (numel(varargin) > 1) %More than 1 input arg
%Make the queue the list of input args
theQueue.queue( end+1:end+numel(varargin) ) = varargin;

%Make that one arg the only element in the queue
theQueue.queue{end+1} = varargin{:};
end
%Makes changes to the queue permanent

end
%pop() - pops the first element off the queue

Mercury
Efficient, generic stacks are provided as part of the standard library in Mercury. For sake of illustration, here is how a simple stack could be implemented.
:- module sstack.
:- interface.
% We're going to call the type sstack (simple stack) because we don't want to get it
% accidentally confused with the official stack module in the standard library.
:- type sstack(T).
:- func sstack.new = sstack(T).
:- pred sstack.is_empty(sstack(T)::in) is semidet.
:- func sstack.push(sstack(T), T) = sstack(T).
:- pred sstack.pop(T::out, sstack(T)::in, sstack(T)::out) is semidet.
:- implementation.
:- import_module list.
:- type sstack(T)
---> sstack(list(T)).
sstack.new = sstack([]).
sstack.is_empty(sstack([])).
sstack.push(Stack0, Elem) = Stack1 :-
Stack0 = sstack(Elems),
Stack1 = sstack([Elem | Elems]).
sstack.pop(Elem, !Stack) :-
!.Stack = sstack([Elem | Elems]),
!:Stack = sstack(Elems).
:- end_module sstack.
It should be noted that this is purely an illustrative example of a very simple stack. A real implementation would have predicate (:- pred) versions of the functions (:- func), for example, for consistency's sake with either the functions implemented in terms of the predicates or vice versa. The real library implementation also features more functionality including both semi-deterministic and deterministic versions of some functions/predicates as well as the ability to push a list of values in one operation.
Some of the implementation decisions above need an explanation. new/0 and push/2 were implemented as functions both for pedagogical reasons (a desire to show function syntax) and because they are a natural fit for functional thought: 0 or more inputs, one output, deterministic. is_empty/1 was implemented as a predicate because it's a single, simple succeed/fail test which is precisely what a predicate is in logic. pop/3 was implemented as a predicate because it has two outputs (the element and the new stack) and because it is semi-deterministic (it will fail if the stack is empty).
Note also that while pop/3 has three parameters, the function implementation looks like it has two. This is because the !Stack "parameter" is actually a pair of parameters using Mercury's state variable notation. !Stack is, in effect, two variables: !.Stack and !:Stack, input and output respectively. Using state variable notation here is a bit of overkill but again was brought in for pedagogical reasons to show the syntax.
MIPS Assembly
addi sp,sp,-4
sw t0,0(sp) ;push
lw t0,0(sp)
addi sp,sp,4 ;pop
lw t0,0(sp) ;top
"Empty" requires you to know the starting value of SP
. Since it's hardware-dependent, there's no one answer for this part of the task.
MiniScript
// Note in Miniscript, a value of zero is false,
// and any other number is true.
// therefore the .len function works as the inverse of a .empty function
stack = [2, 4, 6]
stack.push 8
print "Stack is " + stack
print "Adding '9' to stack " + stack.push(9)
print "Top of stack is " + stack.pop
print "Stack is " + stack
if stack.len then
print "Stack is not empty"
else
print "Stack is empty"
end if
- Output:
Stack is [2, 4, 6, 8] Adding '9' to stack [2, 4, 6, 8, 9] Top of stack is 9 Stack is [2, 4, 6, 8] Stack is not empty

Nemerle
Mutable stacks are available in System.Collections, System.Collections.Generic and Nemerle.Collections depending on what functionality beyond the basics you want. An immutable stack could be implemented fairly easily, as, for example, this quick and dirty list based implementation.
public class Stack[T]
{
private stack : list[T];
public this()
{
stack = [];
}
public this(init : list[T])
{
stack = init;
}
public Push(item : T) : Stack[T]
{
Stack(item::stack)
}
public Pop() : T * Stack[T]
{
(stack.Head, Stack(stack.Tail))
}
public Peek() : T
{
stack.Head
}
public IsEmpty() : bool
{
stack.Length == 0
}
}

Nim
In Nim, the sequences offer all the functionalities of a stack. Procedure add
appends an item at the end, procedure pop
returns the last element and removes it from the sequence. And it’s easy to check if if the sequence is empty with the procedure len
which returns its length.
If we want a stack type limited to the four or five functions of the task, it is possible to define a distinct generic type Stack[T]
derived from seq[T]
. The code will be typically as follows. Note that we have defined a procedure top
to get the value of the top item, another mtop
to get a mutable reference to the top item and also a procedure mtop=
to assign directly a value to the top item.
type Stack[T] = distinct seq[T]
func initStack[T](initialSize = 32): Stack[T] =
Stack[T](newSeq[T](initialSize))
func isEmpty[T](stack: Stack[T]): bool =
seq[T](stack).len == 0
func push[T](stack: var Stack[T]; item: sink T) =
seq[T](stack).add(item)
func pop[T](stack: var Stack[T]): T =
if stack.isEmpty:
raise newException(IndexDefect, "stack is empty.")
seq[T](stack).pop()
func top[T](stack: Stack[T]): T =
if stack.isEmpty:
raise newException(IndexDefect, "stack is empty.")
seq[T](stack)[^1]
func mtop[T](stack: var Stack[T]): var T =
if stack.isEmpty:
raise newException(IndexDefect, "stack is empty.")
seq[T](stack)[^1]
func `mtop=`[T](stack: var Stack[T]; value: T) =
if stack.isEmpty:
raise newException(IndexDefect, "stack is empty.")
seq[T](stack)[^1] = value
when isMainModule:
var s = initStack[int]()
s.push 2
echo s.pop
s.push 3

Oz
A thread-safe, list-based stack. Implemented as a module:
functor
export
New
Push
Pop
Empty
define
fun {New}
{NewCell nil}
end
proc {Push Stack Element}
NewStack
%% Use atomic swap for thread safety
OldStack = Stack := NewStack
in
NewStack = Element|OldStack
end
proc {Pop Stack ?Result}
NewStack
%% Use atomic swap for thread safety
OldStack = Stack := NewStack
in
Result|NewStack = OldStack
end
fun {Empty Stack}
@Stack == nil
end
end
There is also a stack implementation in the standard library.

Pascal
This implements stacks of integers in standard Pascal (should work on all existing Pascal dialects).
{ tStack is the actual stack type, tStackNode a helper type }
type
pStackNode = ^tStackNode;
tStackNode = record
next: pStackNode;
data: integer;
end;
tStack = record
top: pStackNode;
end;
{ Always call InitStack before using a stack }
procedure InitStack(var stack: tStack);
begin
stack.top := nil
end;
{ This function removes all content from a stack; call before disposing, or before a local stack variable goes out of scope }
procedure ClearStack(var stack: tStack);
var
node: pStackNode;
begin
while stack.top <> nil do
begin
node := stack.top;
stack.top := stack.top^.next;
dispose(node);
end
end;
function StackIsEmpty(stack: tStack):Boolean;
begin
StackIsEmpty := stack.top = nil
end;
procedure PushToStack(var stack: tStack; value: integer);
var
node: pStackNode;
begin
new(node);
node^.next := stack.top;
node^.data := value;
stack.top := node
end;
{ may only be called on a non-empty stack! }
function PopFromStack(var stack: tStack): integer;
var
node: pStackNode;
begin
node := stack.top;
stack.top := node^.next;
PopFromStack := node^.data;
dispose(node);
end;
PascalABC.NET
begin
var st := new Stack<integer>;
var st1 := new Stack<integer>;
st.Push(1);
st.Push(2);
st.Push(3);
Println(st1,st);
while st.Count <> 0 do

Perl
Perl comes prepared to treat its arrays as stacks, giving us the push and pop functions for free. To add empty, we basically give a new name to "not":
sub empty{ not @_ }
Phix
with javascript_semantics -- comparing a simple implementation against using the builtins: sequence stack = {} procedure push_(object what) stack = append(stack,what) end procedure function pop_() object what = stack[$] stack = stack[1..$-1] return what end function function empty_() return length(stack)=0 end function ?empty_() -- 1 push_(5) ?empty_() -- 0 push_(6) ?pop_() -- 6 ?pop_() -- 5 ?empty_() -- 1 ?"===builtins===" requires("1.0.2") -- (latest bugfixes, plus top renamed as peep, for p2js) integer sid = new_stack() ?stack_empty(sid) -- 1 push(sid,5) ?stack_empty(sid) -- 0 push(sid,6) --?peep(sid) -- 6 (leaving it there) ?pop(sid) -- 6 ?pop(sid) -- 5 ?stack_empty(sid) -- 1
Note you get true/false rather than 1/0 under pwa/p2js (use printf(%t) for consistent results)
PHP
PHP arrays behave like a stack:
$stack = array();
empty( $stack ); // true
array_push( $stack, 1 ); // or $stack[] = 1;
array_push( $stack, 2 ); // or $stack[] = 2;
empty( $stack ); // false
echo array_pop( $stack ); // outputs "2"
echo array_pop( $stack ); // outputs "1"
PicoLisp
The built-in functions push and pop are used to maintain a stack (of any type).
(push 'Stack 3)
(push 'Stack 2)
(push 'Stack 1)
: Stack -> (1 2 3) : (pop 'Stack) -> 1 : Stack -> (2 3) : (set 'Stack) # empty -> NIL : Stack -> NIL
Pike
Pike has a built in module ADT (Abstract Data Types) which among other things contains a stack.
object s = ADT.Stack();
s->push("a");
s->push("b");
write("top: %O, pop1: %O, pop2: %O\n",
s->top(), s->pop(), s->pop());
s->reset(); // Empty the stack
- Output:
top: "b", pop1: "b", pop2: "a"

PowerShell
A new stack:
$stack = New-Object -TypeName System.Collections.Stack
# or
$stack = [System.Collections.Stack] @()
Push some stuff on the stack:
1, 2, 3, 4 | ForEach-Object {$stack.Push($_)}
Show stack as a string:
$stack -join ", "
- Output:
4, 3, 2, 1
Pop the top level of the stack:
$stack.Pop()
- Output:
4
Show stack as a string:
$stack -join ", "
- Output:
3, 2, 1
Get a copy of the top level of the stack:
$stack.Peek()
- Output:

Prolog
Prolog is a particularly silly language to implement stack functions in, as the built-in lists can be treated as stacks in an ad hoc manner. Nonetheless, in the name of completeness:
% push( ELEMENT, STACK, NEW )
% True if NEW is [ELEMENT|STACK]
push(ELEMENT,STACK,[ELEMENT|STACK]).
% pop( STACK, TOP, NEW )
% True if TOP and NEW are head and tail, respectively, of STACK
pop([TOP|STACK],TOP,STACK).
% empty( STACK )
% True if STACK is empty
empty([]).
PureBasic
For LIFO function PureBasic normally uses linked lists. Usage as described above could look like;
Global NewList MyStack()
Procedure Push_LIFO(n)
FirstElement(MyStack())
InsertElement(MyStack())
MyStack() = n
EndProcedure
Procedure Pop_LIFO()
If FirstElement(MyStack())
Topmost = MyStack()

Python
The faster and Pythonic way is using a deque (available from 2.4). A regular list is a little slower.
from collections import deque
stack = deque()
stack.append(value) # pushing
value = stack.pop()
not stack # is empty?
If you need to expose your stack to the world, you may want to create a simpler wrapper:
from collections import deque
class Stack:
def __init__(self):
self._items = deque()
def append(self, item):
self._items.append(item)
def pop(self):
return self._items.pop()
def __nonzero__(self):
return bool(self._items)
Here is a stack implemented as linked list - with the same list interface.
class Stack:
def __init__(self):
self._first = None
def __nonzero__(self):
return self._first is not None
def append(self, value):
self._first = (value, self._first)
def pop(self):
if self._first is None:
raise IndexError, "pop from empty stack"
value, self._first = self._first
return value
Notes:
Using list interface - append, __nonzero__ make it easier to use, cleanup the client code, and allow changing the implementation later without affecting the client code. For example, instead of:
while not stack.empty():
You can write:
while stack:
Quick testing show that deque is about 5 times faster then the wrapper linked list implementations. This may be important if your stack is used in tight loops.
Quackery
Quackery is a stack based language. In addition to the stack (i.e. the Quackery data stack) and the call stack, named ancillary stacks can be created with [ stack ] is <name-of-stack>
. Pushing to and popping from ancillary stacks is done with the words put
and take
. A word to test if an ancillary stack is empty can be defined as [ size 1 = ] is isempty
. (The word empty
already has a meaning in Quackery.) The word share
returns the topmost element of an ancillary stack without changing the ancillary stack. Other ancillary stack operations are also available.
[ size 1 = ] is isempty ( s --> b )
[ stack ] is mystack ( --> s )
mystack isempty if [ say "mystack is empty" cr cr ]
23 mystack put
mystack share echo say " is on the top of mystack" cr cr
mystack mystack put ( you can put anything on an ancillary stack, even itself! )
mystack share echo say " is on the top of mystack" cr cr
mystack take echo say " has been removed from mystack" cr cr
mystack take echo say " has been removed from mystack" cr cr
mystack isempty if [ say "mystack is empty" cr cr ]
say "you are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike"
- Output:
mystack is empty 23 is on the top of mystack mystack is on the top of mystack mystack has been removed from mystack 23 has been removed from mystack mystack is empty you are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike

(define (pop stack) (values (car stack) (cdr stack)))
(define (empty? stack) (null? stack))
And a destructive object:
(struct stack ([items #:auto]) #:mutable #:auto-value '())
(define (push! x stack)
(set-stack-items! stack (cons x (stack-items stack))))
(define (pop! stack)
(begin0 (car (stack-items stack))
(set-stack-items! stack (cdr (stack-items stack)))))
(define (empty? stack)
(null? (stack-items stack)))
Raku
(formerly Perl 6)
Raku still has the stack functions from Perl 5, but now they also can be accessed by object notation:
my @stack; # just a array
@stack.push($elem); # add $elem to the end of @stack
$elem = @stack.pop; # get the last element back
@stack.elems == 0 # true, because the stack is empty
not @stack # also true because @stack is false

Use built in stack type:
new stack as s
1 s push
s pop
Word empty is also built in:
s empty if 'stack is empty' print

RPL
The RPL interpreter is based on a stack, with which the user interacts.
- the push operation is performed by the
DUP
instruction - the pop operation by
DROP
DEPTH
provides the stack size. To test the emptiness of the stack, the following program can be created as an user-defined instruction:
≪ DEPTH NOT ≫ 'EMPTY?' STO
Ruby
Using an Array, there are already methods Array#push, Array#pop and Array#empty?.
stack = []
stack.push(value) # pushing
value = stack.pop # popping
stack.empty? # is empty?

Using the standard library
One could just use a vector (Vec<T>
) which is part of the standard library
fn main() {
let mut stack = Vec::new();
stack.push("Element1");
stack.push("Element2");
stack.push("Element3");
assert_eq!(Some(&"Element3"), stack.last());
assert_eq!(Some("Element3"), stack.pop());
assert_eq!(Some("Element2"), stack.pop());
assert_eq!(Some("Element1"), stack.pop());
assert_eq!(None, stack.pop());
}

Sather library has the abstract class $STACK{T}
, but using this forces us to implement other methods too.
Scala
The Do it yourself approach:
class Stack[T] {
private var items = List[T]()
def isEmpty = items.isEmpty
def peek = items match {
case List() => error("Stack empty")
case head :: rest => head
}
def pop = items match {
case List() => error("Stack empty")
case head :: rest => items = rest; head
}
def push(value: T) = items = value +: items
}
Or use the standard Scala library. Slightly modified to meet to requirements of this task.
import collection.mutable.{ Stack => Stak }
class Stack[T] extends Stak[T] {
override def pop: T = {
if (this.length == 0) error("Can't Pop from an empty Stack.")
else super.pop
}
def peek: T = this.head
}
A test could be:
object StackTest extends App {
val stack = new Stack[String]
stack.push("Peter Pan")
stack.push("Suske & Wiske", "Alice in Wonderland")
assert(stack.peek == "Alice in Wonderland")
assert(stack.pop() == "Alice in Wonderland")
assert(stack.pop() == "Suske & Wiske")
assert(stack.pop() == "Peter Pan")
println("Completed without errors")
}
Scheme
This version uses primitive message passing.
(define (make-stack)
(let ((st '()))
(lambda (message . args)
(case message
((empty?) (null? st))
((top) (if (null? st)
'empty
(car st)))
((push) (set! st (cons (car args) st)))
((pop) (if (null? st)
'empty
(let ((result (car st)))
(set! st (cdr st))
result)))
(else 'badmsg)))))

method empty { stack.is_empty };
}
var stack = Stack();

From Slate's standard library:
collections define: #Stack &parents: {ExtensibleArray}.
"An abstraction over ExtensibleArray implementations to follow the stack
protocol. The convention is that the Sequence indices run least-to-greatest
from bottom to top."

TAV
Because a row (integer indexed array) has the attribute '.Count' for the number of currently (non-void) elements, and grows on demand, the functions 'push' and 'pop' from the standard library are quite simple:
row (@) push (val):
@[@.Count+1] =: val \ increments .Count
row (@) pop:
rv =: @[@.Count] \ void if .Count = 0
@[@.Count] =: () \ assigning void decrements .Count
:> rv
main(params):+
stack =: new row \ a row is a nice stack
?# v =: tuple 1,3,5,7,11,13 give values
row stack push v \ push some primes
print '*' _ stack[stack.Count] \ get top
?# i =: from 1 upto 7
? i %% 3 = 0
print '*' _ stack[stack.Count]
print stack::pop \ class function syntax used
- Output:
*13 13 11 *7 7 5 3 *1 1 ()

Here's a simple single-stack solution:
init() {
if [[ -n $KSH_VERSION ]]; then
set -A stack
else
stack=(); # this sets stack to '()' in ksh
fi
}
push() {
stack=("$1" "${stack[@]}")
}
stack_top() {
# this approach sidesteps zsh indexing difference
set -- "${stack[@]}"
printf '%s\n' "$1"
}
pop() {
stack_top
stack=("${stack[@]:1}")
}
empty() {
(( ${#stack[@]} == 0 ))
}
# Demo
push fred; push wilma; push betty; push barney
printf 'peek(stack)==%s\n' "$(stack_top)"
while ! empty; do
pop
done
- Output:
peek(stack)==barney barney betty wilma fred
You can generalize it to multiple stacks with some judicious use of the twin evils of pass-by-name and eval:
init_stack() {
if [[ -n $KSH_VERSION ]]; then
eval 'set -A '"$1"
else
eval "$1=()"
fi
}
push() {
eval "$1"'=("$2" "${'"$1"'[@]}")'
}
stack_top() {
eval 'set -- "${'"$1"'[@]}"';
printf '%s\n' "$1"
}
pop() {
stack_top "$1";
eval "$1"'=("${'"$1"'[@]:1}")'
}
empty() {
eval '(( ${#'"$1"'[@]} == 0 ))'
}
init_stack mystack
push mystack fred; push mystack wilma; push mystack betty; push mystack barney
printf 'peek(mystack)==%s\n' "$(stack_top mystack)"
while ! empty mystack; do
pop mystack

Z80 Assembly
The stack can be initialized by loading it directly with an immediate value. Z80-based home computers such as the Amstrad CPC and ZX Spectrum do this for you. Messing with the stack on those systems is a bad idea, since an assembly program stored on a floppy disk or cassette tape begins with the return address of BASIC on top of the stack. However, on embedded systems like the Game Boy or the Sega Master System, this step is a must, as the CPU does not have an initial stack pointer value in its vector table and thus does not guarantee the value of SP upon startup. Unlike the 6502, the Z80's stack does not have a fixed size or memory location, and is only limited by the address space of the CPU. From a practical standpoint, however, it's very unlikely you'll need more than 256 bytes.
LD SP,&FFFF
Registers must be pushed in pairs. If you push/pop the accumulator, the processor flags go with it. This can make certain functions difficult to write without using a temporary variable to hold the accumulator, which doesn't allow for recursion or arbitrary nesting.
push af
push bc
push de
push hl
Popping is very similar. To properly pop values, they must be popped in the reverse order they were pushed.
pop hl
pop de
pop bc
pop af
The stack is empty if its value equals the original starting value of the stack pointer. This is a little difficult, since the stack doesn't necessarily start in a fixed location like it does on the 6502. There are two ways to do this:
ld (&nnnn),SP ;&nnnn represents a memory location that the programmer will later read from to use as a
;comparison for the current stack pointer
ld hl,0
add hl,sp ;the z80 doesn't allow you to load SP directly into HL, so this is the quickest way
From there it's a matter of comparing this value to the current stack pointer, which in itself is tricky since the built-in compare instruction forces you to use the accumulator as one of the operands, and works natively in terms of 8-bit values.
Peek can be achieved with the EX (SP),HL
command which exchanges HL with the top item of the stack.
On the Game Boy, the stack can also be manually adjusted by a signed 8-bit constant. A Zilog Z80 cannot do this in a single command. The code below only works on a Game Boy or any other hardware running on a Sharp LR35902 CPU:
ADD SP,&FE ;subtract two from the stack pointer. Remember that the stack grows "down" in memory.
It should be noted that although the "heap" and the "stack" are considered separate areas of memory by the programmer, in the eyes of the CPU there is no boundary between them. The CPU doesn't care if you push enough words onto the stack so that the stack pointer is now pointing to the heap, or even ROM space. Most of the time this isn't an issue, as long as your push/pop operations are properly balanced. It's just something to look out for.
zkl
Lists have stack methods so this class is somewhat reduntant
class Stack{
var [const] stack=L();
fcn push(x){stack.append(x); self}
fcn pop {stack.pop()}
fcn empty {(not stack.len())}
var [proxy] isEmpty = empty;
}
- Output:
var s=Stack(); s.push(5).push("five"); s.isEmpty //-->False s.pop() //-->"five"
