In this post we are going to write C++ program to implement stack data structure using Templates in C++.
Stack is an abstract data type which serves as a collection of elements, with two principal operations i.e. push() and pop(). It works based on LIFO operations also known as “last in, first out”.

Initially, the constructor sets the stack contents to NULL and top position to -1 to indicate that the stack is empty.
