Could someone please post a quick stack example here? or even a couple? -=Lohrno

Stack. FILO (First In Last Out), very simple example:

int(1 to 10) Array;int StackPointer = 0;Void PushStack(int NewInt) {    If StackPointer<11 {         Array[StackPointer]=NewInt;         StackPointer++;         }}int PopStack() {    If StackPointer>0 {         PopStack = Array[StackPointer];         StackPointer--;         }} 

Excuse my syntax.

Man its been a long time since I studied stacks hehe...
but isnt there a built in stack thing for C++?
I thought there was...

heres one basically from practical c++ programming, best damn c++ book ever, id recommend it

stack.hpp:

  #include <stdlib.h>#include <iostream.h>class stack{private:    int currentCount;    int max;    int *data; // change int to whatever data type your going to usepublic:    stack(int howMany); // i made this so you can reserve how many items you want on the stack    ~stack();    bool push(const int item);    int pop(); // change int to whatever type your using with the stack};  

stack.cpp:

  #include "stack.hpp"stack::stack(int howMany){    data = new int[howMany]; //again, change int to whatever blahblahblah    max = howMany;    currentCount = 0;}stack::~stack(){    delete [] data;}bool stack::push(const int item){    if (currentCount < max)    {        data[currentCount] = item;        ++currentCount;        return 1;    }    cerr << "STACK IS FULL" << endl;    return 0;}int stack::pop(){    if (currentCount >= 0)    {    --currentCount;    return data[currentCount];    }    return 0;}  

that should probably do it, havent tested it yet, but it should check for overflow and underflow, thats basically what a stack may look like

Practical C++ Programming has a 1995 publication date and so is unlikely to describe modern C++ techniques. Here''s how to use the STL stack:

  #include <stack>int main(){  std::stack<int> st;  st.push_back(1);  st.push_back(2);  st.push_back(3);  int i1 = st.top();  st.pop();  int i2 = st.top();  st.pop();  int i3 = st.top();}  

Ahhhhhh...thats what I needed sabreman Thanks alot =)
And thanks to everyone else for the homrebew ones hehe!

are you claiming that char arrays have no place in modern programming?
