Stack: The LIFO Principle
Last in, first out — always.
A stack is a linear data structure that follows the LIFO (Last-In, First-Out) principle. This means the most recently added element is the first one to be removed. Think of a stack of plates: you add and remove plates from the top only.
↳ A stack's defining rule is LIFO: the last element pushed is the first element popped.

The essential stack vocabulary.
↳ Push and Pop are the primary mutators; Peek, isEmpty, and isFull are the primary accessors.
