Evaluating Expressions: Using a stack makes it easy to convert an infix expression to a postfix expression and perform evaluation operations.
Function call: When a function is called, the system will use a stack to store information such as the function’s parameters, local variables, and return address.
Evaluating Reverse Polish Notation: Reverse Polish Notation is a expression representation method that doesn’t require parentheses, and it can be easily evaluated using a stack.
Matching parentheses: using a stack can be used to check if parentheses are correctly matched in code.
Maze solution: Using a stack to implement the depth-first search algorithm can be used to find the path in a maze.
Compiler implementation: Stacks are used to store various information during the lexical analysis, syntax analysis, and semantic analysis processes of the compiler.
Accessing history records: The browser’s forward and backward functionality can use a stack to store the browsing history.
Recursive calls: When making recursive calls, the system uses a stack to store information such as the parameters and return address for each recursive call.
