Stacks (using array)
Instructions:
Brief Greek history: In Greece a traditional way of leisure is going to places playing live Greek music called mpouzoukia. Mpouzouki is a Greek instrument similar to a guitar. In this place it is also common to get large stacks of plates and breaking them on the stage.
The above history was given to explain the following applet. Suppose you are at mpouzoukia and when you "push" a waiter brings more plates for you to break. He always places them on top of the previous stack (if any). The plates can write anything you want on them. When you "pop", you throw the plates starting from the last one added to your stack. Since the stack implemented here uses arrays and not pointers there is a limit to the number of plates you can have at one time. For this specific example the limit is 13. The textbox on the bottom left will provide extra information. The counting of the plates is just for fun, see how much you can break!

The stack is initialized when the page is loaded so do check the code textbox before creating a stack.
