Welcome to an exciting exploration of two fundamental data structures: Stacks and Queues! Remember, data structures store and organize data in a manner that is structured and efficient. Stacks and Queues are akin to stacking plates and standing in a line, respectively. Intriguing, isn't it? Let's dive in!

A Stack adheres to the "Last In, First Out" or LIFO principle. It's like a pile of plates where the last plate added is the first one to be removed. C++ provides the std::stack container from the Standard Library to work with stacks. The primary methods used with stacks are push, pop, empty, and top:

• push: Adds an element to the top of the stack.
• pop: Removes the top element from the stack.
• empty: Checks whether the stack is empty.
• top: Returns the top element of the stack without removing it.

Let's explore this using a pile of plates.

The last plate added was removed first, demonstrating the LIFO property of a stack.

A Queue represents the "First In, First Out" or FIFO principle, much like waiting in line at the grocery store. C++ provides the std::queue container from the Standard Library to work with queues. The primary methods used with queues are push, pop, empty, and front:

• push: Adds an element to the end of the queue.
• pop: Removes the first element from the queue.
• empty: Checks whether the queue is empty.
• front: Returns the first element of the queue without removing it.

Let's examine this through a queue of people.

Here, Person 1, the first to join the queue, left before Person 2, demonstrating the FIFO property of a queue.

Stacks handle ordered data efficiently, much like your web browser's history. Queues, on the other hand, are optimal when the order of arrival is essential, such as in a store queue.

Let's depict the two structures in a text editor that features an Undo mechanism (a Stack) and a Print Queue.

This code reintroduces the concepts of a Stack (Undo feature) and Queue (Print queue) in the context of a real-life scenario.

Great work! You have examined the mechanics of Stacks and Queues, both integral data structures. Remember to practice what you've learned. Happy coding!
