This document discusses stacks and queues as data structures. It defines a stack as a LIFO data structure where items can only be inserted and removed from one end. Examples of stack applications include program execution, parsing, and evaluating postfix expressions. The key stack operations are push, peek, and pop. It also defines a queue as a FIFO data structure where items are inserted at one end and removed from the other. Example queue applications include scheduling and networking. The key queue operations are enqueue and dequeue. It discusses implementing both stacks and queues using arrays and linked lists.
