Data Structures - I : Linear Lists — Question 7

(ii) Stacks — Stacks are used when data needs to be managed based on the Last In, First Out (LIFO) principle. For example, function call management in programming languages employs a stack structure to store and manage function calls.

(iii) Queues — Queues are used when data needs to be managed based on the First In, First Out (FIFO) principle. For example, a print spooling system, where print jobs are queued in the order they were received.
