Solution

The correct answer is S[N-1].

Here's why:

A stack is a data structure where the last element added is the first one to be removed (Last In, First Out - LIFO). So, the top of the stack is always the most recently added element.

In most programming languages, array indices start at 0, not 1. So, for a stack of size N, the elements are located at indices 0 through N-1.

Therefore, the top-of-the-stack-element (i.e., the last element added) for a stack of size N elements is at index N-1, which corresponds to S[N-1].

If an array-based stack has a capacity of 10 and currently contains 7 elements, what is the index of the top element after pushing one more element onto the stack?a)9b)10c)7d)8

A single array A[1..MAXSIZE] is used to implement two stacks, The two stacks grow from opposite ends of the array. Variables top1 and top2 (top1 < top2) point to the location of the topmost element in each of the stacks, If the space is to be used efficiently, the condition for "stack full" is*2 points(top1 = MAXSIZE/2) AND (top2 = MAXSIZE/2 + 1top1 + top2 = MAXSIZE(top1 = MAXSIZE/2) or (top2 = MAXSIZE)top1 = top2 - 1

A stack is implemented using an array and the top is always pointing to the first position in the array. Assuming the stack is not empty, the time complexities of push() and pop() operations are:Group of answer choicesO(n) and O(1)O(1) and O(1)O(1) and O(n)O(n) and O(n)
