Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which operation is not allowed in a stack?
  • Step 1: Understand what a stack is. A stack is a data structure that follows the Last In, First Out (LIFO) principle.
  • Step 2: Learn the basic operations of a stack. The main operations are 'push' (to add an item), 'pop' (to remove the top item), and 'peek' (to view the top item without removing it).
  • Step 3: Identify what a queue is. A queue is a different data structure that follows the First In, First Out (FIFO) principle.
  • Step 4: Know the operations of a queue. The main operations of a queue are 'enqueue' (to add an item) and 'dequeue' (to remove the front item).
  • Step 5: Compare the operations of stacks and queues. Notice that 'dequeue' is an operation specific to queues and is not allowed in stacks.
  • Step 6: Conclude that 'dequeue' is the operation that is not allowed in a stack.
