Defined in header <stack>
template<     class T,     class Container = std::deque<T> > class stack;

The std::stack class is a container adapter that gives the programmer the functionality of a stack - specifically, a FILO (first-in, last-out) data structure.

The class template acts as a wrapper to the underlying container - only a specific set of functions is provided. The stack pushes and pops the element from the back of the underlying container, known as the top of the stack.

Template parameters

The underlying container type Container must implement the following functions:

• back()
• push_back()
• pop_back()

The standard containers std::vector, std::deque and std::list can be used.
