A Last In, First Out (LIFO) type of data structure that is very common in computing. An operation that adds an element to a stack is called a push? and one that removes an element is called a pop. |

A stack is a Last In, First Out (LIFO?) data structure that is very common in computer science. A stack is only accessable at one end (usually called the top). An operation that adds an element to a stack is called a push? and one that removes an element is called a pop. |

Many modern cpus support a stack. Many Virtual Machines are stack-based, but others are not, like the Java VM. (where should this link go? should it be a link at all?) |

Many [computer archeticture]?s use stacks to handle data and memory addresses (they are called stack-based architectures). |
