Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions
What is the time complexity of pushing an element onto a stack implemented using a linked list?
Steps
Concepts
Step 1: Understand what a stack is. A stack is a data structure that follows the Last In, First Out (LIFO) principle.
Step 2: Know that a stack can be implemented using a linked list. In this case, each element in the stack is a node in the linked list.
Step 3: When you push an element onto the stack, you need to add a new node to the linked list.
Step 4: To add a new node at the head of the linked list, you simply create the new node and adjust the pointers.
Step 5: This operation of adding a new node at the head takes a fixed amount of time, regardless of the number of elements in the stack.
Step 6: Therefore, the time complexity for pushing an element onto the stack is O(1), which means it takes constant time.
