Stacks & Queues

Stacks and Queues are similar ways of holding data.

Stacks
Think of stacks like a stack of chairs. The data is piled up by pushing the data onto the stack. The data is taken off of the stack by popping.

 

Queues
Queues are like a line up at the bank. The first piece of data into the queue if the first piece of data that is taken out of the loop.
