Question
Select the correct answerWhich of the following permutations can be obtained in the output(in the same order),using a stack assuming that the input is the sequence A,B,C,D,E in that order?OptionsC,D,E,B,AC,D,A,B,EC,D,A,E,BC,D,E,A,B
Solution
The correct answer is C,D,A,B,E.
Here's why:
A stack is a data structure that follows the Last-In-First-Out (LIFO) principle. This means that the last element that is pushed into the stack is the first one to be popped out.
Given the input sequence A,B,C,D,E, the only way to get the output sequence C,D,A,B,E is to push and pop the elements in the following order:
- Push A into the stack.
- Push B into the stack.
- Push C into the stack.
- Pop C from the stack. (Output: C)
- Push D into the stack.
- Pop D from the stack. (Output: C,D)
- Pop B from the stack. (Output: C,D,A)
- Pop A from the stack. (Output: C,D,A,B)
- Push E into the stack.
- Pop E from the stack. (Output: C,D,A,B,E)
The other options cannot be obtained using a stack with the input sequence A,B,C,D,E.
