## Learn how a Stack Works
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Method:
|
||
|
- Stacks are an abstract data structures.
|
||
|
- They follow LIFO (Last In First Out) or FILO (First In Last Out) principle.
|
||
|
- Stack's insertion and deletion operations are of **O(1)** time complexity.
|
||
|
- In Javascript, arrays can be treated as a Stack since `.push()` and `.pop()` methods have time complexity of **O(1)**.
|
||
|
- In this challenge we need to `.pop()` and then `.push()` into the stack.
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Solution:
|
||
|
```js
|
||
|
var homeworkStack = ["BIO12","HIS80","MAT122","PSY44"];
|
||
|
|
||
|
homeworkStack.pop();
|
||
|
homeworkStack.push("CS50");
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
