This C Program implement a stack using linked list. Stack is a type of queue that in practice is implemented as an area of memory that holds all local variables and parameters used by any function, and remembers the order in which functions are called so that function returns occur correctly. Each time a function is called, its local variables and parameters are “pushed onto” the stack. When the function returns,these locals and parameters are “popped.” Because of this, the size of a program’s stack fluctuates constantly as the program is running, but it has some maximum size. stack is as a last in, first out (LIFO) abstract data type and linear data structure. Linked list is a data structure consisting of a group of nodes which together represent a sequence. Here we need to apply the application of linkedlist to perform basic operations of stack.
Here is source code of the C Program to implement a stack using linked list. The C program is successfully compiled and run on a Linux system. The program output is also shown below.

/*

#include <stdio.h>

    int info;
    struct node *ptr;

void stack_count();

    printf("\n 1 - Push");
    printf("\n 2 - Pop");

Output:

$ cc pgm2.c
$ a.out

1 - Push
2 - Pop
3 - Top
4 - Empty
5 - Exit
6 - Dipslay
7 - Stack Count
8 - Destroy stack
Enter choice : 1
Enter data : 56

Enter choice : 1
Enter data : 80

Enter choice : 2

Popped value : 80
Enter choice : 3

Top element : 56
Enter choice : 1
Enter data : 78

Enter choice : 1
Enter data : 90

Enter choice : 6
90 78 56
Enter choice : 7

No. of elements in stack : 3
Enter choice : 8

All stack elements destroyed
Enter choice : 4

Stack is empty
Enter choice : 5
