Stack ADT

What is the primary function of a stack in computer science?

• A stack is a data structure that stores elements in a specific order, where the last element added is the first one removed

• A stack is a type of algorithm used for sorting data in ascending order

• A stack is a program that manages the flow of information between different parts of a computer

• A stack is a physical component of a computer that stores data temporarily

Which of the following is NOT a primary operation associated with a stack?

• Push

• Pop

• Peek

• Sort

How does the concept of a stack in computer science relate to the real-world analogy of a stack of plates?

• Both stacks and plates are physical objects that store information

• Both stacks and plates follow the LIFO principle, where the last item added is the first one removed

• Both stacks and plates are used in the same way to manage data in computer programs

• Both stacks and plates are examples of abstract data types that are used in computer science

What was the primary motivation behind Alan Turing's introduction of the concept of a stack in 1946?

• To improve the efficiency of arithmetic operations in computers

• To manage the flow of data between different parts of a computer

• To handle the execution of subroutines and function calls

• 
  To store and retrieve data from memory

What is the significance of Konrad Zuse's Z4 computer in the history of stacks?

• It was the first computer to use a stack data structure

• It was the first computer to use a two-level stack for subroutines

• It was the first computer to use the term "Operationskeller" to describe a stack

• It was the first computer to implement a stack data structure in hardware
