The order may be LIFO(Last In First Out) or FILO(First In Last Out). Mainly the following three basic operations are performed in the stack: Push:  Adds an item in the stack.

If the stack is empty, then it is said to be an Underflow condition. Peek or Top:  Returns top element of stack. isEmpty:  Returns true if stack is empty, else false. How to understand a stack practically? There are many real-life examples of a stack. Consider the simple example of plates stacked over one another in a canteen.
