PHP Ds\Stack Functions Complete Reference

0 0 1 minute read

Stack is a linear data structure that follows a particular order in which the operations are performed. The order may be LIFO(Last In First Out) or FILO(First In Last Out). The Ds\Stack uses Ds\Vector internally.

Requirements: PHP 7 is required for both extension and the compatibility polyfill.

Installation: The easiest way to install data structure by using the PECL extension.

pecl install ds

Syntax:

public Ds\Stack::functionName()

Example: Below programs illustrate the Ds\Stack::pop() function in PHP:

PHP

<?php
 
// PHP program to illustrate the
// Ds\stack::pop() function
 
// Create a Stack instance
$stack = new \Ds\Stack();
 
// Pushing elements to Stack
$stack->push("Welcome");
$stack->push("to");
$stack->push("GfG");
 
// Print the initial Stack
print_r($stack);
 
// Print the top element and remove it
print_r($stack->pop());
 
// Print the Stack again
print_r($stack);
 
?>

Output:

Ds\Stack Object
(
    [0] => GfG
    [1] => to
    [2] => Welcome
)
GfG
Ds\Stack Object
(
    [0] => to
    [1] => Welcome
)
