Talk:Stack: Difference between revisions

: Ignoring the matter of whether an object oriented approach is required (or whether non-OO languages are precluded from this task) I would point out that many programming courses introduce stacks as a basic data structure and use the implementation of a stack with "push", "pop" and "depth" functions as a programming exercise. Granted that languages such as Python, Perl, Lisp/Scheme and Lua will make this a trivial program (but no more so than "Hello, World" which we also include as a task on this site). I think it's a fair task but perhaps the wording could be cleaned up.[[User:JimD|JimD]] 21:37, 1 November 2007 (MDT)

: Additionally, as JimD said, a stack is a data structure. Shouldn't it also be in the data structures category? --[[User:mwn3d|mwn3d]] 18:37, 9 November 2007 (EST)
