Stack implementation using Linked List

Stack is a data structure it serves as a collection of elements. It has 2 principle operation push and pop.Stack works on the principle of  Last In First Out or LIFO i.e the element that is entered last is removed first. To do this is has 2 methods 
  1. push() :  push operation pushes the element on the top.
  2. pop() :  pop operation removes the element on the top.
This can be seen in  the below image.



Linked list is a simple linear data structure formed by collection of data elements called nodes. Each node consists of a data element and link field.The data field consists of element and link field consists of address of next element.

Now inorder to implement Stack using linked list we need to implement push and pop operation in Linked List. Push and pop can be implemented by using other already implemented functions of Linked List like addToStart, addToEnd and remove functions.

Infix to Prefix conversion using Stack

This post is about conversion of Infix expression to Prefix conversion. For this conversion we take help of stack data structure, we need to push and pop the operators in and out of the stack. Infix expressions are the expressions that we normally use, eg. 5+6-7; a+b*c etc. Prefix expressions are the expressions in which the 2 operands are preceded by the operator eg. -+56 7 , +a*bc etc. This method is very similar to the method that we used to convert Infix to Postfix but the only difference is that here we need to reverse the input string before conversion and then reverse the final output string before displaying it. NOTE: This changes one thing that is instead of encountering the opening bracket we now first encounter the closing bracket and we make changes accordingly in our code. So, to convert an infix expression to a prefix expression we follow the below steps (we have 2 string, 1st is the input infix expression string 2nd is the output string which is empty initially)...

Linked List in python

Linked list is a simple linear data structure formed by collection of data elements called nodes. Each node consists of a data element and link field. There is a head node that points to the starting of the linked list. this diagram shows a simple representation of the linked list. Linked list can be used to implement stacks, queues, list, associative arrays, etc.  Unlike arrays linked lists are not stored in contagious memory locations rather the are stored at any empty place in memory and the address of the next node is stored in the link field. Also you don't need to declare the size of the linked list at the time of initialization you can dynamically keep adding elements to the linked list. Click for complete information on Linked List  The following implementation of the linked list has the following methods implemented : isEmpty() : Returns true if the Linked List is empty. addToStart() : Adds elements at the start of the linked Li...
