[PLUGIN] LIFO Stack

EDIT May 8 2012: this plugin is obsolete, the functionality has been added to the official ARRAY plugin.

---------------------------------------------

This is a simple plugin implementing a Last In First Out (LIFO) stack. Works with numbers.

It has all basic stack operations: Push, Pop, Peek, IsEmpty.

I needed it for a logical puzzle (Towers of Hanoi) and couldn't find one, so I implemented one. Took the array and modified it here and there.

Feel free to further improve it!

Could you make an example on how to use it?

Sorry I took so long. Here's a small demo. HTH. Geo.

Where i can use this plugin?

You can use this plugin wherever you have game logic that requires the use of a LAST IN FIRST OUT data structure (aka Stack). For example, the Towers of Hanoi.

You add data (numbers) to it, and the data goes to the "top" of the stack. You can only access the top of the stack, not the numbers below. More info: LIFO (Wikipedia)

Perfect! I was about to implement a LIFO stack myself when I saw this in Kyatric's What You May Have Missed Thread . Now all I need do is add RandomArray's scramble feature to it and I have just what I need <img src="smileys/smiley32.gif" border="0" align="middle">

Thanks <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> Glad you find it useful.

Hey Geo

The link for the example is down. Could you reopload it?

Also, when you already have made a stack, what about expanding to also include a queue?

Hi Traeve,

Actually the LIFO functionality is now part of the official ARRAY plugin.

See this manual entry, look at push/pop front/back, is empty etc.

This plugin is now obsolete. Kyatric please remove it from the sticky plugin list, septeven sorry for not getting back about this for so long, please don't track it with your repository app.

Cheers!

Hi Geo

Had not seen that, thanks.

Cheers!
