What is the difference between array and stack in data structures?..

Answer / Ram Gopal

The main differences between arrays and stacks in data structures are their organization, usage, and access method. An array is a contiguous block of memory with fixed size and indexed elements that can be accessed randomly. A stack, on the other hand, follows a LIFO (Last-In-First-Out) approach, where items are added (pushed) and removed (popped) from one end only. It is typically used for function calls, recursion, and backtracking algorithms.
