There are four types of stack:
- Full Descending stack
- Empty Descending stack
- Full Ascending stack
- Empty Ascending stack
- Empty - The stack pointer points to the next free slot
- Full - The stack pointer points to the last item put on the stack
- Decending - The stack pointer decreases in value when items are placed on the stack
- Ascending - The stack pointer increases in value when items are placed on the stack
The convention when writing several stack elements on one line is that the top of stack is at the right.
