Mastering data structures is a non-negotiable skill for success as a developer. Efficient data structures help execute effective programs. Today, many programming roles require great knowledge of data structures. They are also a fundamental part of coding interviews. By The Educative Team.
In programming, a stack is an abstract, linear data type with a predefined capacity (or boundary). It follows a particular order for adding or removing elements. Linear data structures organize their components in a straight line, so if we add or remove an element, they will grow or shrink respectively.
In the article authors will cover:
- What is a Stack?
- What is a Queue?
- Pros and Cons of Stack and Queues
- Essential operations
- How to implement a Stack in Java
- How to implement a Queue in Java
- What to learn next & interview questions
Authors hope you now have a good foundation of how stacks and queues data structures work. There’s so much more to learn to master queues and stacks in Java. Nice one!
