/*
Stack
- A stack is an ordered collection of items that follow (LIFO) Last In First Out principle. The addition and removal of items take place at same end i.e at the top. The newest elements are at the top and the oldest elements are at the bottom unlike in Queue.
- A Stack is used by compilers in programming languages, by computer memory to store variables and functions call, in text editors to perform undo & redo operations.
push(): Adds a single or multiple items to the top of the Stack.
pop(): Removes and Returns the top item of the Stack.
peek(): Returns the top item of the Stack.
isEmpty(): Returns True if Stack is empty, False otherwise.
clear(): Removes all the items of the Stack.
size(): Returns the length of the stack.
