======Data Project 4: Stack======

A project for COURSENAME by YOUR NAME OR GROUPMEMBER NAMES during the SEMESTER YEAR.

This project was begun on DATE and is anticipated to take X AMOUNT OF TIME. (Upon completion you can correct this with the actual length).

=====Objectives=====
State the purpose of this project. What is the point of this project? What do we hope to accomplish by undertaking it?
=====Prerequisites=====
In order to successfully accomplish/perform this project, the listed resources/experiences need to be consulted/achieved:

  * resource1
  * resource2
  * resource3
  * experience1
  * experience2
  * etc.

=====Background=====
State the idea or purpose of the project. What are you attempting to pursue?

Upon approval, you'll want to fill this section out with more detailed background information. DO NOT JUST PROVIDE A LINK.

Providing any links to original source material, such as from a project page, is a good idea.

You'll want to give a general overview of what is going to be accomplished (for example, if your project is about installing a web server, do a little write-up on web servers. What is it, why do we need one, how does it work, etc.)
=====Scope=====
Give a general overview of your anticipated implementation of the project. Address any areas where you are making upfront assumptions or curtailing potential detail. State the focus you will be taking in implementation.

I have had previous experience with both **Stacks** and **Queues** from a different program at another college (Not with C on UNIX; but with the [[http://elmicro.com/files/intro_mc68hc12.pdf|Motorolla MC68HC12]] (**.pdf**) Microcontroller. Also, Matt provided almost all of the code needed for the stack (except the **peek()** function); making the implementation simple.
=====Attributes=====
State and justify the attributes you'd like to receive upon successful approval and completion of this project.

  * attribute1: why you feel your pursuit of this project will gain you this attribute
  * attribute2: why you feel your pursuit of this project will gain you this attribute
  * etc...

=====Procedure=====
Matt was so nice, kind, and generous that he wrote ALMOST the entire **stack** program. The only function that needed to be written was **peek**. Using Matt's existing code as a "template", the **peek** function was easy to implement. The same code also made the **Queue** easy to implement.
=====Code=====
Matt provided the code for the stack. I added some comments; Matt must hate comments. The required header files were also copied to the same directory.

<cli>
lab46:~/src/cprog$ ./hello
Hello, World!
lab46:~/src/cprog$ 
</cli>
