Very preliminary review, I'm still at work so I can't really deep dive into the content yet but this review is just to address a few small issues and maybe some new content that could be added.

| # What is a Stack? | ||
|
|
||
| According to Don Knuth, a stack is "a linear list for which all insertions and deletions are made at one end of the list." The quote illustrates the `Last in First Out` principle (LIFO) which all stacks follow. The last item placed in the stack will be the first item to be removed. |

Maybe a "real world" example of a stack might be helpful? For instance I've always liked the analogy to a "stack" of paper, e.g. "pushing" to a stack is like adding another paper to your "stack" of paper, "popping" is removing it from the top, etc.

That's a good idea. Wasn't sure which example to use, but paper or plates should work.
