Solution

To implement a stack using queues, we will need two queues. Here's a step-by-step explanation:

  1. We maintain two queues, q1 and q2. Initially, we consider q1 for enqueue operation.

  2. When we want to push an element into the stack, we enqueue it into q1.

  3. When we want to pop an element from the stack, we want the last inserted element first (as stack follows Last In First Out principle). This can be achieved by dequeuing elements from q1 and enqueueing them into q2 until only one element is left in q1. We then dequeue this last element from q1, which is the required popped element. After this operation, we swap the names of q1 and q2.

So, we need two queues for implementing a stack using queues.
