Program to Perform Stack Operations Using Pointer !

Write a C program using pointers to implement a stack with all the operations.

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>

#define MAX 50
int size;

// Defining the stack structure
struct stack {
   int arr[MAX];
   int top;
};

// Initializing the stack(i.e., top=-1)
void init_stk(struct stack *st) {
   st->top = -1;
}

// Entering the elements into stack
void push(struct stack *st, int numberx) {
   if (st->top == size - 1) {
      printf("\nStack overflow(i.e., stack full).");
      return;
   }
   st->top++;
   st->arr[st->top] = numberx;
}

//Deleting an element from the stack.
int pop(struct stack *st) {
   int numberx;
   if (st->top == -1) {
      printf("\nStack underflow(i.e., stack empty).");
      return NULL;
   }
   numberx = st->arr[st->top];
   st->top--;
   return numberx;
}

void display(struct stack *st) {
   int i;
   for (i = st->top; i >= 0; i--)
      printf("\n%d", st->arr[i]);
}

int main() {
   int element, opt, val;
   struct stack ptr;
   init_stk(&ptr);
   printf("\nEnter Stack Size :");
   scanf("%d", &size);

         printf("\nEnter the element into stack:");
         scanf("%d", &val);
         push(&ptr, val);
         break;
      case 2:
         element = pop(&ptr);
         printf("\nThe element popped from stack is : %d", element);
