Stack implementation with array












0















I am trying to implement stack with array in C. But I guess my push function is not correct.(Maybe there are some other mistakes) Because when I run the code, it prints "Stack is empty!" two times.



How can I solve this problem and is this implementation logic is true?



#include <stdio.h>

#define SIZE 10

typedef struct stack
{
int top;
int items[SIZE];
}stack;

void push(int a, stack st)
{
if((st.top + 1) != SIZE)
{
st.top++;
st.items[st.top] = a;
}
else
{
printf("nStack is full!");
}
}

void pop(stack st)
{
if(st.top != -1)
{
st.top--;
}
else
{
printf("nStack is empty!");
}
}

void printList(stack st)
{
int i;
for(i = 0; i < st.top + 1; i++)
{
printf("%d -> ", st.items[i]);
}
puts("");
}

int main(void)
{
stack stack1;
stack1.top = -1;

stack stack2;
stack2.top = -1;

push(3, stack1);
push(5, stack1);
push(7, stack1);

printList(stack1);

pop(stack1);
printList(stack1);

pop(stack1);
printList(stack1);
}

    There must be thousands of duplicates of this. All will tell you that C passes arguments by value, meaning they are copied into the functions argument variables. Modifying a copy will not modify the original. That's why you will see passing structures in other code being passed as pointers (which is used to emulate pass by reference).

    Please end messages with newlines; you don't normally need newlines at the start. Output may not appear until there is a newline, so newline at the beginning can lead to confusion.

    Change all functions to accept stack_t *st instead of stack_t st and change (e.g.) st.top into st->top in them. In main, change all calls to stack functions to be (e.g.) push(3, &stack1) This is because of the pass-by-value [which you don't want] to [an emulation of] pass-by-reference [which you do want].

Hi your stack implementation is wrong.Using gdb you can verify this.You are passing structure as value you should pass as address.



On gdb you can see



In main
gdb) p &stack1
$4 = (stack *) 0x7fffffffddf0



In push fn



(gdb) p &st
$3 = (stack *) 0x7fffffffdd90



both are different.



correct code is given below.



#include <stdio.h>

#define SIZE 10

typedef struct stack
{
int top;
int items[SIZE];
}stack;

void push(int a, stack *st)
{
if((st->top + 1) != SIZE)
{
st->top++;
st->items[st->top] = a;
}
else
{
printf("nStack is full!");
}
}

void pop(stack *st)
{
if(st->top != -1)
{
st->top--;
}
else
{
printf("nStack is empty!");
}
}

void printList(stack *st)
{
int i;
for(i = 0; i < st->top + 1; i++)
{
printf("%d -> ", st->items[i]);
}
puts("");
}

int main(void)
{
stack stack1;
stack1.top = -1;

stack stack2;
stack2.top = -1;

push(3, &stack1);
push(5, &stack1);
push(7, &stack1);

printList(&stack1);

pop(&stack1);
printList(&stack1);

pop(&stack1);
printList(&stack1);
}
