This repository contains code samples and techniques referenced in my Medium blog post, "Queue vs. Stack in C#". This post and repository focus on understanding the differences between queues and stacks in C#, their use cases, and when to choose one over the other.
In this blog post, I discuss the fundamental differences between queues and stacks, two essential data structures in programming. Each structure is explained with code examples to demonstrate their unique behaviors and applications.
-
Definition of Stack
A stack is a last-in, first-out (LIFO) data structure where the last element added is the first one to be removed. -
Definition of Queue
A queue is a first-in, first-out (FIFO) data structure where the first element added is the first one to be removed. -
Key Operations
- Stack:
Push
,Pop
,Peek
- Queue:
Enqueue
,Dequeue
,Peek
- Stack:
-
Use Cases
Discuss scenarios where stacks and queues are most effective, such as:- Stacks for function calls, backtracking algorithms, and undo mechanisms.
- Queues for scheduling tasks, breadth-first search, and managing requests.

- Explore Code Samples: Review the repository for code examples demonstrating both stacks and queues in C#.
- Practice Implementing: Use the provided examples to practice implementing queues and stacks in your own C# projects.
