A Stack is a “LIFO” data structure (last in first out).
Here’ s an animation of how stacks are used in an RPN calculator.
More RPN practice
Create a stack Class that is based off of your linkedList code.
A stack has the following 3 methods
| 1 2 3 4 5 6 | Stack Methods pop() push() peek() //return last element without removing size() | 
| 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 | public class Stack {  private LinkedList _innerList;   public Stack()  {  _innerList = new LinkedList();  } | 
| 1 2 3 4 | public Node peek(){ // return the tail from Stack without removing return null; } | 
| 1 | public Node pop(){ // remove the tail from the list and return that element return null; } public void push(Node n){ // add the node to the end of the list } } | 
Create an RPN calculator Class
| 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 | public class RPNCalc{ // this method computes the value of an //  if syntax is invalid, you should throw a ArithmeticException public double evaluate( String rpnString) throws ArithmeticException{     return 0.1; } } |
