stack implementation in c++ using array source code

Stack in C++ program
This c++ program has 10 functions. Each function calls on menu based selection using switch statement (functions names may very in source code). Each function and whole code has proper commented to explain the code.  This program has been tested on Visual Studio IDE.

What is a stack?
Stack is know as LIFO(Last in First Out) functionality which means a thing or an object which has been added last time will out first. Like Placing books on one an other the last book we placed will be picked first to collect all books. To now more about stack in c++ read wiki .


List of Stack Functions


  1. void createStack();
  2. void menu();
  3. void display();
  4. void deleteStack();
  5. void clearStack();                     // declaration of functions 
  6. int pop();
  7. void push(int);
  8. void findelement();
  9. int isfull();
  10. int isempty();
  11. void find_by_position();
Program brief introduction


  • Every function will be called on menu based selection
  • An integer pointer has declared for dynamic memory allocation
  • Global variable size and top has declared to track the stack status in whole program

Note: It is recommended to dry run all the code for better understanding. There is always more way to code a program. Try to improve it by adding more functions and validations. Hope this mini c++ project help the beginners.
