implement a stack using a standard linked list in the C programming

[hakimks]

You are provided with a sample C programs: calc.c, which implements a reverse polish notation
calculator. Study it carefully. This program uses a stack (of course!) but the stack implementation
is missing and you have to add it. You are to use the linked list structure defined within the
program, to implement a stack. In short, you need to implement the functions pop() and push()
using a linked list.
You are provided with calc-array.c which is a full implementation of the calculator, and uses an
array to implement the stack. Compile and run this program and test it (for instance enter 4 5 3 +
* <ENTER> as standard input and see that you get 32 as the answer). You should use the output
of this program to check that your own implementation is doing the right thing.

double pop(void);

/* reverse Polish calculator */

typedef struct list_t {
double item;
struct list_t *next;
} list_t;


list_t *st = NULL; /* To be used as our stack. Starts out as empty (NULL). */

/* push: push f onto value stack */
void push(double f)
{

/* Your code goes here. */
}

/* pop: pop and return top value from stack */
double pop(void)
{
/* Your code goes here. */
}

Once you have had an attempt at writing these functions we will help you debug them.

Do you understand how a linked list works in concept?

thanks but finally l got to learn about stacks and linked lists
