Can anyone direct me where to go for doing stacks in C++. I have to make a program using stacks but can you initialize a stack with given values? If so can you give an example?

en……maybe STL template lib may fulfill you need

but i always write a simple data-struct for the program...

This would be an example of a stack of integers using a list ...
[php]
// example of a stack (Last In First Out = LIFO) using a list
// compares to a stack of dinner plates
// Dev-C++

#include <iostream>
#include <list>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
list<int> iL;
int k;

// load the stack with numbers 0 to 9, last number entered would be on top
for(k = 0; k < 10; k++)
iL.push_front(k);

// now unload the stack and display
cout << "Unloading the stack in order:\n";
for(k = 0; k < 10; k++)
{
// read the top element of the list
cout << iL.front() << endl;
// now pop it (removes top element)
iL.pop_front();
}

cin.get(); // wait
return 0;
}
